All those photos giving me a smile of recognition, a gasp of surprise and above all lots of admiration for...

Re: Peter 3V collection Trooping the Colour Foot Guards "Marching down the Mall" High Brendan, My band is only 137 men strong. Can you imagine that in the good old days (way before the peace dividend and amalgamation ) there were 8 Foot Guards participating on Horse Guards Parade with the...

High Dave, I live in Neustadt since 1996 due to my posting at HQ Landcent in Heidelberg and the fact that the Dutch community was living in Neustadt. We had our own school, doctor, dentist, support unit and Dutch shop there so we were more or less forced to find a home there. Before that I was...

Peter 3V collection Delhi Durbar 1903 part 2
