World War Two / Re: 64th Medium Regt RA

Hi David, a very tardy reply to your post I'm sorry to say.  Hope you are still wanting to be contacted.  My dad was in the 64th Medium Regiment RA and was a POW in Stalag VIIIA after being captured in Salonika.  I have quite a few photos from when the regiment was in Egypt and N Africa plus some from Stalag VIIIA if you are interested in having copies of these.  I also have several menus from regimental reunion dinners during the 1960s if you'd like copies of those.

Gwen Nelson.

Lots of great information thanks very much.  keep me busy while the SO is away to the pub!  Did you know Thomas Morris was publican of Bird in Hand at Stondon?  My dad used to got there to spend holidays with his Nana, Louisa Lucas (formerly Martin, nee Morris) when he was a little lad.  Her second husband Walter Lucas took over the licence.

I read with interest the correspondence re Eliza Folkes and Thomas Morris as I am a  descendent of these people.  Their daughter Louisa b 1855 ish married Edwin Martin my great grandfather 15 March 1875 at Stotfold.  Eliza died sometime between 1861 and 1881 by which time Thomas was publican at the Bird in Hand, Stondon.  I'd be grateful to have any information you can provide re the earleir generations of the family
