Terry_Reeves Posted 30 July , 2003 Share Posted 30 July , 2003 A quick quiz for anybody who is interested. The picture below shows the name of a well known WW1 personality on a war memorial. Q1 Where is it? Q2 What is his connection with the place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry_Reeves Posted 30 July , 2003 Author Share Posted 30 July , 2003 Nice one Hussar, just the sort of lateral thinking that is required. Alas, it's not the right answer. Terry Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Posted 30 July , 2003 Share Posted 30 July , 2003 Terry, Is it in the Village of Radway Grange, where Haig lived before going to France with the BEF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 31 July , 2003 Author Share Posted 31 July , 2003 Nearly there Ski. It is Radway which sits below Edgehill in Warwickshire. The first major battle of the English Civil war was fought there. Haig rented a large house called the "Grange" there for a couple of years prior to the war when he was GOC Aldershot. He used the place as a country retreat. Terry Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
