Are we going to be reminded about the ashes at every opportunity until the next series? We beat you 3 times in a row and I don't remember it being brought up in unrelated threads, jeez for fecks sake.

I've numbered the pages so you can download them and get them in the right order, except for some reason I took a picture of the cover last!!!

Thought I'd share this one with you all as well.

A wonderful little fold out card, issued to all ranks down to and including corporal.

This may be of some interest. It's the Home Guard in Pattingham, the next village from where I was born. Several of the chaps in the photo's are the grandfathers or uncles of kids I went to school with, indeed, I went out with Tom Ray's niece when I was at school. The photo's of the spigot mortar crew and the Northover Projector are taken at Burnhill Green on the edge of the Earl of Dartmouth's estate Patshull. It was interesting seeing that there was a 'Weapon Training School' at Burnhill Green, it's a sort of a blink and you'll miss it kind of place. My brother will be interested as well, he lives a mile outside the village, and i'm sure he's not aware of this interesting bit of local history. It's a small world.

Thanks for sharing.
