Thanks Donkenny I'm just a very interested person looking into the unit that worked the woods during our hours of need during WW1 & we are grateful to all our commonwealth cousins for the help you have all given us during these troubled times. So far I have found some interesting info about the 126th they worked at Amptill in Bedfordshire County & here in Santon Downham in Suffolk. While they were here they built two houses which remained intact until the late seventy's I had the privilege of working for the then owner for a few hours a week before I left school & the house next door was owned by a market gardener were I used to collect vegetable's from for my mother so I suppose now I am retired I have some time to look into it all. The forest is one of the largest in the U K & I have recently joined a conservation group which meets once a month to carry out various projects also as a boy I played with friends on the site of the old Mill the 126th set up, it was mostly a pickling plant for fencing materials but they still had some of the old railway lines for running hand trolleys on. many thanks for all your help once again.
