During the war relatives of mine billeted R.A.F pilots from bases in the surrounding area. They were asked to sign this small autograph book upon their departure.

That is two remarkable and very poignant autograph books, have any of you chaps researched the RAF crew who signed and drew these? The british humour shines through in the drawings.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Thanks !

Regards,
Steve.
