Hi,
Recently bought a fascinating book on the Winsley, Turleigh area. It details names , land holdings, inventories, land sales etc from Saxon times to Victoria.
My question is, am I allowed to post details of the book here for anyone interested?

Regards,

This photo of a memorial in Russell churchyard, New Zealand may be of interest to someone. Hope the quality is ok, I've had to squeeze it to fit.

Armed Forces / Officer or not?
« on: Saturday 18 March 06 17:49 GMT (UK)  »
Another one for the experts....I think the regiment is Somerset Light Infantry...but not sure. As to the rank, no idea, or the date. Has he got a dress uniform on and what colour would that have been?

PS Now I know where to go to get the answers! :)

Can anyone identify what the lady is wearing ? Could it be a regimental badge or similar? Photo circa 1910 onwards.
