Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[SteveC]

Cool pic Steve, my dad didn't serve (Royal Artillery) until just after WW2, but I used to have photos of my grandfathers in uniform. Not anymore unfortunately. Three of my 4 great grandfathers were killed in WW1, and strangely, while searching for info on one of them, I came across a photo of my 4th great grandfather, who I didn't realise had been wounded. He had been a Colour Sargent (Sargent Major) in Africa, in the 19th century, and then re-enlisted during WW1. My father remembers him, as an older man, with a big handle-bar moustache, which apparently he sported for much of his adult life, but clean-shaven, he looks very much like one of my uncles.

Nice pic Steve

My dad served in the 50's during the Malayan conflict. His brother William was killed in Africa in WW2.

I have his medals and letter .















This must have been dads

Thank you Bob.

Nice image, Bob.

Thank you Harvey...too much time on hand because of rain.

I am slowly learning names.

 

[Jack Black]

My confidence level in you making up for the ”unfit loaf is high. Have a fine day and a restful nap, Jack.

Thank you my friend, if I'd had time, I would have had a full breakfast at Charlie's!

I just knew it. A wonderful array of goodies, well captured.

Thank you kind sir

Good Morning Guardians.

Fabulous image Harvey, what an outstanding knife

A grand old lamb.

Thanks Rufus.

Beautiful horn Dwight.

Thank you Todd.

Knife Rock is looking good, Dwight.

Thanks JD.

Many thanks Dwight, had me up half the night, but I think it'll be OK. Sounds like you'd love Yorkshire my friend! Wonderful image

I would love Yorkshire's weather. I'm sure of it.

Cheers

Malaya was a tough one Steve! And, sadly, to some extent, forgotten Those boys were tough as old boots

Very sorry to hear your uncle fell in Africa My great uncle, Bill Walch, was a tank driver with the Queen's Bays in North Africa (and just about everywhere else), he was blown up 3 times, but survived the war. One of my grandfathers, Bill Bourne, was in Palestine with the Royal Artillery

I'll save you some Dwight!

Fantastic photo my friend, you always nail that damascus

 

[Angry Waiter]

Sounds awesome Pete, I’m sure you guys will have a great time.

Thanks Todd!

Good morning Guardians. Snapped this one inside before heading out to light a fire.View attachment 1985273

Thanks Mr Jack.

Very cool picture, Harvey... that color is wild.

I like the patina... on the hat.

 

[Jack Black]

My deepest respect for those who served in the RAF like your father, Steve. Great images, too.

I think my grandfather's brother was in the RAF, but most of my family were in the Army, apart from an uncle who was in the Royal Navy. My brother-in-law's father, Jack Laidlaw, was a fighter pilot throughout WW2 thought, he was straight out of an adventure comic!

I'd purchased a vanilla slice in town, but since they had wrapped it in paper

Cardinal Sin.

Disgraceful mate!

I don't know why we (I) have the badge.
Albuhera was an 1811 battle in the Peninsular War.

Went with the ebony lamb and had to stop by my favorite sandwich shop for subs for my wife and me. Beautiful day so I fired up the R9 for the trip to the doc.

Wow, you really got the color explode in that photo Harvey.

Great pic!

That sounds wonderful. Hope all of you have a great time together... and maybe even catch some fish.

Thanks John.
