ANother Northamptonshire lad...non relative



Again Italy...this one 1944
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Thanks again Son.

Brilliant.  ;D

Can you e-mail them to me, pretty please, as Rootschat has a file
restriction and the original image would be great.  ;D

Also all of you who are helping me with the background information

Thanks again.

Thanks
My Albert married Rose Warren, all her family are originally from Northampton, lots from Blisworth, although Rose was born in Leicester. Have quite a history of boatman from the area but don't know it well. If any thing can be found re my Herbert William Bryant that would be great, still looking for the military photo rather then the newspaper one I have!

Hi Willsy.

I have asked another member elsewhere if they can help.

Obviously it depends when he replies, with a Yes or No.  :)
