  • Service Dress Cap and 1903 Pattern Webbing
    Unidentified member of the Dorset Regiment wearing 1903 Bandoiler Equipment (15 Round MkII Cartridge Pockets) and 1888 Bayonet. This would appear to date from 1906-1910. This would have been worn by George in Aldershot with the 2nd Battalion and in Quetta with the 1st Battalion until the 1908 pattern Mills webbing was issued.

  • BEF 1914
    'A Private of the Coldstream Guards, August 1914. He wears standard Service Dress and the early version of the 1908 webbing, including large pack. He is armed with the 1903 SMLE with 'long range sights' and a 1907 Pattern bayonet with the hook quillon; this had largely been removed from such bayonets by 1914, but some remained in issue.'

    Keith1947

  • 1903 Pattern webbing
    This replaced the 1888 Slade Wallace pattern webbing in use up to the Anglo Boer War. In turn, it was replaced in the British Army by the 1908 pattern webbing, but continued to be used by the Indian Army.

  • Junkers 88 of the Luftwaffe
    The Junkers 88 was probably the best medium bomber in service with the Luftwaffe during the blitz. The last major attack on London was on 10/11 May 1941, on which the Luftwaffe flew 571 sorties and dropped 800 tonnes of bombs.

  • Memorial crosses at Flers
    As well as leaving a cross for George, a friend of mine and massive football fan had recently passed away. The day before taking the trip to France I attended his funeral, which made this even more poignant. The crosses have been placed at the foot of the Clapton Orient Footballers' Battalion Memorial, Flers, Somme, France. Taken at 1125am.
