My memories are of us spending hours collecting wood for our bonfire in Nechells. The kids from all over would join together in this mamouth task. We would have it in the park opposite the flats in Duddeston Manor Rd Amanda

Hi Dave sorry for the delay in replying but my keyboard decided to only issue ????? instead of letters. Most strange! Anyway, my Dad is Albert Millington and there were his friends the Fosters. He may be older than you, he is 76 now, so he was possibly a few years ahead of you. regards Amanda

Thank you for sharing that card with us David. I will show my Dad as I think he was a member. Amanda

Oh I also wanted to say that Dad and his family (the other side of our family) had only one photo of their brother who was killed in Burma. When my godfather died we were left loads of photos and letters etc, and most precious of all a photo of John Francis. There were several of my Dad as a...

My Great Aunt burnt all our family photos and the family bible to stop her husbands children by his first marriage getting them. She regreted it all the rest of her life. Amanda
