Nice.... ;D ;D ;D
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Thanks Woolley

I had an absorbing time looking through them; my eyes lit up when I came to the medics but none were my folks.

What a surprise to find the sikhs, etc., amongst them.  If I'd been younger I think I'd have fancied wearing one of those fur jackets!

Glad you enjoyed them, I certainley did, but sadly didnt recognise anyone either.
