You must have climbed on something?

  

I stood on the pews - after asking, and removing my shoes of course! 

That was quite brave, I'm not good with heights, not even something like that. I have to get my daughter to do anything involving climbing!
 I cannot thank you enough, Bev. It's people like you that make internet genealogy so rewarding and worthwhile. You are a STAR!

Hi ludovica,

I've been to Abergwili today and taken photos of the monuments; they are still not perfectly readable, but you might be able to decipher most of it given time.

If you PM me with your e-mail address I'll send them on to you.

Do you want the photos of all of them, or do you already have the rest?

Also, do you have photos of the graves in the churchyard?

The Warden was unable to help with the list of interments in the vault, but they are in Aberystwyth and also Carmarthen.

Bev.

That's great Bev. I'd love to see your pics, (e-mail in private message). It is sad that Carmarthen Library was closed when I went, but they should be reopening fairly soon if not already

What a great thread. I hope the Scouts Association do get a copy of the picture and then do a bit of research to put this troop back into the archive.
I think it is an unexploited area of research. My own Mum was Hampshire's first Queen's Guide and met Lady Baden-Powell and Princess Margaret at the award ceremony in 1948, and I'd love to see more people taking an interest in this type of award
So sad about the Scout who died.. the newspaper report is very moving in a strange way.. They must have been really struggling with their "stiff upper lip"

I read the book years ago but cannot remember anything about it but I LOVE the programme it's fab, the only thing I hate is that hat....that straw thing that perches on top of Laura's head like an inverted she-wee, I just want to rip it off and jump up and down on it because it looks so ridiculous 

Mmmmm ! very fetching...

How many years ago was that?
