There would be scout bands marching down our road of a Sunday morning, and when we heard the music of the band, we would dash out into the road to watch them. As Paul says, sadly, not any more.
I note that in the parade photograph (posting #1551), it appears that there are a couple of chaps with medals on their tunic. One, almost in the centre with, it looks like, two medals, and there is a chap further down, in the front row, with what seems to be a medal. Boer War perhaps, or India? Also the chap at the start of the front row, appears to have lost one of his tunic buttons. Would have been a charge in the army!!
A lovely photo, and so full of detail. Thanks Viv.
