Maybe those of us who can't be there - can celebrate the event with one of these !!

I'm not sure if a celebration is quite in order. Rather a quiet commemoration for those who died for us.

Hi everyone.

Everything is now in place for the boys to return home this Friday.

Thanks for the link Annie.  I might make one of those cakes for when there is the re-dedication service.  It would complement the chaps who plan to attend in WW1 uniform.

Rest assured, Meles, the boys will be shown due respect.
Kind regards,

Hi again everybody,
Please, I am not nit picking, (for a change), but I did just want to point out that the boys will not be actually getting home on Friday, but quite a lot nearer.
There is a bit of a way to go yet before they are where I would like them to be.
However, by all means think of Thudders and I as we manhandle the plaque to a place of safety for the time being. And Park Church is a daughter church of Trinity, and was established by 1914. In fact we are celebrating our centenary right now.

At least they will be back in Reading Midnight Runner  :)

Fear not about manhandling the memorial - I've conned Thudnut (not so)  junior into coming along!

Looking forward to seeing you again.

If timings allow...You might even get a Scrimnet to assist... ;)
One more charge and then be dumb,

        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
