The CWGC Plan suggests was for the purposes of symmetry with a seat on the cemetery side.

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

Originally buried in Germaine French Military Cemetery. Exhumed to Epernay French National Cemetery in 1923, and to Terlincthun in 1964.

Good memories of Sid Lovell, last survivor of the 1st Bucks Bn, wounded at Pozieres and Cheddar Villa, MM in Italy.

Always rewatch around now. If you can also find it watch “A Game for Ghosts” - also very evocative.

as Volunteer. Renumbered as 265002 in 1917. Reason for discharge “Sickness”. No evidence of service outside of UK. His son Ernest appears to have served in the Labour Corps.

Clasp and Roses to the 1914 Star issued in May 1928, as they had to be applied for separately. India service confirmed by 1919 India General Service medal issue.

Landed in Belgium with 2nd Bn at Zeebrugge in 7th Div. Medal Rolls indicate service later with 1st Bn in India.

Yes, it’s 1914 Star with a disembarkation date of 5 Oct 1914.

I suggest it’s an Indian Army unit cap badge.

Toby Carvery admits felling ancient Whitewebbs oak tree The owner of the pub chain falsely claimed the tree was dead as justification for the felling which has shocked local people and prompted outrage from conservationists across the country

A 450-yo oak is felled without permission by a Toby Carvery (don’t eat there), who falsely claimed it was "dead".
A tree alive when The Gunpowder Plot was hatched, which supports a web of 2000+ species, is in pieces.

“Noggin the Nog” - have it on DVD now!

And last week Notre Dame de Paris #WW1

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
