Hello, We do a survey for a soldier of the 2nd lincolnshire regiment, who's grave is in our town. http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/searching-someone-military-genealogy/26785-war-grave-belgium-joseph-fail-2-lincolnshire-denderwindeke-communal-cemetery.html I'm also collecting English millitaria, and my goal is to make a replica of a 2nd lincs soldier anno 1940. For the uniform, I'm struggling with the insigna and specific marks of the regiment, can someone help me out with this. Thanks! Peter
The Royal Linolnshire Regiment (Quick March) - YouTube The Royal Anglian and Royal Lincolnshire Regimental Association - 2nd Bn Lincolnshire Regt 1938 The Royal Anglian and Royal Lincolnshire Regimental Association see photographs. The Lincolnshire Poacher When I was bound apprentice in famous Lincolnshire Full well I served my master for nigh on seven years Till I took up to poaching as you shall quickly hear Oh, 'tis my delight on a shiny night in the season of the year. As me and my companions was setting out a snare 'Twas then we spied the gamekeeper, for him we didn't care For we can wrestle and fight, my boys, and jump from anywhere Oh, 'tis my delight on a shiny night in the season of the year. As me and my companions was setting four or five And taking them all up again, we caught a hare alive We caught a hare alive, my boys, and through the woods did steer Oh, 'tis my delight on a shiny night in the season of the year. We threw him over my shoulder, boys, and then we trudged home We took him to a neighbour's house and sold him for a crown We sold him for a crown, my boys, but I divven't tell you where Oh, 'tis my delight on a shiny night in the season of the year. Success to every gentleman that lives in Lincolnshire (Alt. Bad luck to every magistrate) Success to every poacher that wants to sell a hare Bad luck to every gamekeeper that will not sell his deer Oh, 'tis my delight on a shiny night in the season of the year.
