Two
almost antique pictures from the 14 -18 War of "Old Bill"
the cartoon character who apparently did more for morale in the trenches
than any other published item before........the front line troops loved
them
The Communication Trench....Problem - Whether to walk along the top
and risk it, or do another mile of this?
Observation....."Ave a squint through these 'ere Bill; you can
see one of the --------------'s eatin' a sausage as clear as anythin'"

How
about these Menus from RMC Sandhurst June 1932 and June 1935?
I wonder did we have anyone commissioned into the XXth these years and
did they ever survive the oncoming War which was to be their destiny
just a few years later?
I hardly remember my commissioning Ball....just a blur...too much of
the good things of life!!!!
