DirtyDick Posted 10 September , 2004 Share Posted 10 September , 2004 Since I am an elderly ex-pat Briton living in the '60s USA and butlering for two gay crime fighting superheroes who possess a penchant for revealing lycra; both as camp as a row of tents and use a brush-covered cave as a garage. (And no, it's not Mr Tron and 'young friend' of his; vide the censured thread a few months back.) Alfred Damn, where's my secret anti-avatar spray when I need it?

Admin Michelle Young Posted 11 September , 2004 Admin Share Posted 11 September , 2004 Incurring the wrath of Paul Guthrie, I changed my avatar from Marge Simpson to a picture of Sgt Ernest Mildenhall. He was my great-grandmothers second husband. There is quite a story attached to him, but only Cynthia on this forum knows....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Robertson Posted 11 September , 2004 Share Posted 11 September , 2004 Mine is of my Great-Grandfather, John P.Robertson, no.73601, 28th Bn. (North-West) CEF 1914-1918. He was quite a fella. That's him with the X above his head. I'd be delighted to hear from anyone who could add any detail regarding the group photograph. I think that it's an early 1915 picture, possibly taken in this country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
