ypres1418 Posted 19 September , 2005 Share Posted 19 September , 2005 Just to add mine to this fine list Tyne Cot where I have adopted a grave of a private of the Cheshire Regiment who had previously been with the South Lancashire's, Pte Halford, chosen for the above as I lived in Warrington and we had a big Halfords store and as Warrington is now in Cheshie it used to be in South Lancashire and then I found out he came from Warrington!

bobpike Posted 19 September , 2005 Share Posted 19 September , 2005 My avatar is from my book 'The Victor Heroes.' It shows a picture by Sir William Orpen (R.A), "The Manchesters, Arras. Just out of the trenches near Arras. Been through the battles of Ypres and Somme untouched. Going home to Sheffield to be married." (By kind permission of IWM, London). I chose it because of its simplicity and style, and because my grandfather was at Arras, and at the time my son was at university in Sheffield. I often wonder if the subject got through to return to his new wife, I hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyHollinger Posted 21 September , 2005 Share Posted 21 September , 2005 I can't remember if I replied to this when it was new ... but, my avatar is the picture of me and my one-true-love, girl of my dreams, Lauren while at the Menin Gate ... our friend and guide Tom Morgan had brought us forward to be photographed with the buglers (what a touristy thing to do!) and we were honored. Much has changed since then but never my emotional awe about WWI & Ieper or my love for my wife and friend ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frans is selling them and all money goes to the Diggers. Annette Here is part of one of them <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Diggers??? The current or the past? Love your work. Re. Miss Sam As each person chooses to enlist in their countries armed forces, they put their country and the love of fellow man, ahead of themselves. A noble and often misunderstood path for them to take. To put one's life on the line, for the sake of your fellow countrymen deserves to be applauded- unfortunatly, more often than not, it is derided due to the politics involved. May she, and others who go to the troubled spots of our world, only to lose their lives, rest in peace, in the knowledge that they tried to make a difference. regards Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB64 Posted 22 September , 2005 Share Posted 22 September , 2005 Mine is of my great uncle - 22340 Pte Daniel Taylor of the 12th HLI missing in action in the Loos area just after the battle had ended, he only lasted a month - which I guess is in some ways a blessing.

Robert Missinne Posted 24 September , 2005 Share Posted 24 September , 2005 Mine is referring to the Canadian Scottish Regiment. This regiment was one of the first Canadian regiments to fight outside Canada in a real battle-situation. This happened in/near Kitchener's Wood (not so far from where I am living in St.-Julien) after the first German gasattacks on April 22 1915. Members of this regiment are still wearing badges with acorn on oak leave, referring to their fights in Kitchener's Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Q Posted 29 September , 2005 Share Posted 29 September , 2005 As much as I'd like to say that mine was a Government issue Kung-Fu throwing star, it ain't. It's simply the badge of the Devonshire Regt. It's where I live and who I portray. The Regiment may be gone, but I'm keeping them alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
