"The signing took place at approximately 5.45am on a chill Monday morning, a quiet, informal ceremony at odds with the thunderous din of the war itself playing out across the Western Front.

The agreement came into effect “on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918. But more than 2,000 men died in the intervening five hours between its signing and that deadline. George Edwin Ellison of Leeds is said to have been the last British combatant to die, falling just outside Mons."

What is good, that I only just learned, was that the lady that wrote the crochet pattern for the head and helmet posted it online for anyone to use for free, and is really active in supporting people when they have questions.
Fair play because that is really unusual.
Working out patterns must take ages and most people sell them.
Thats probably why there is more out and about this year. Can’t be a bad thing.

Oh by the way if any little, or large, ****er damages ours then I will be going full ‘Liam Neeson looking for his Daughter’ mode !!!

I was in a Sam Smith's pub in the West End of London yesterday afternoon 'rehydrating' from the heat. Bloke sat next to me with his missus had a very familiar accent. Eventually along with a Geordie also sat in the same area we all started talking. The Geordie left but me and the other Hullite didn't move for about 3 hours! Very interesting bloke, from being a down and out from Bransholme, numerous twists and turns when younger, to now owning the largest vintage clothing business in the UK. Very interesting bloke. Not sure if any of you on here would know him (OLM?), has a shop in St. Stephens as well as more across the North and a very busy wholesale and online business. Fair dues to him and shows anything is possible if you want it enough.
