    Sid's surname was Timmins (No "G") and to his left is David "Spuddy" Baker. Both of them are my uncles.

    Congratulations to all your family Lyn. We all took the opportunity to wet the baby's head down the Welly yesterday. Nice one.

    Royal Artillery WW1

    Yes Lyn. Between 1899 and 1924 the RA was divided between the Royal Field Artillery and the Royal Garrison Artillery. Both wore the same cap badge. The Field Artillery generally went away to fight whilst the Garrison Artillery stayed home to man coastal defences etc against invasion.

    Erdington postmen heroes remembered

    Once again, Well Done to all. I enjoyed the ceremony yesterday and I'm really pleased that these men are able to be honoured and remembered in such a fitting way. I did take several photo's but it seems I have a memory card malfunction so sadly none came out.
