Yes there will be pictures, I'm afraid I have been a little busy of late.... :-\

Never mind...I will be back with a vengeance quite soon...The living history days have been my only solace.... :-[ I have still missed several due to the vagaries though...
One more charge and then be dumb,

        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Sorry Sue, no not us...But I expect I know them!

I mainly do WW1 these days, but dabble in WW2 medical, as I will be doing at Detling in Sept...

I'll see what I can find out about the Living History group that were there...

Oops...Detling is Bank Holiday weekend!

Here I will be part of an Airborne Medical Unit WW2 era, Arnhem Bridge Too Far type thing...

Hi Scrimnet,

If you have lots of photos it would make more sense to publish them externally and supply a link.

The server here does have it's limits.
Do you have a website where that could be done ?

regards,
Bob

Bob...

I normally Photobucket them and just paste them in via that! (direct link jobby)

Anyway, I'll just be posting the best as I stated...not the 80-90!!! ;D ;D ;D

The photos are great - all the men really look the part.

Can you tell me what the bag around your neck is for?
