    I posted this as I keep mentioning them to visitors who have not heard of them, my gt uncle is on the gate so each individual one is of course tragic but 3 brothers on the same day?


    The poor parents, I shall lay a cross for them on Tuesday

    Yes I thought it was from your book that I first heard of them, well spotted.

    Have you heard about the soldier who served under the alias of Makin T ? a visitor once tried told me it was a deliberate joke.
