    I fell in love with that picture too - see post #8 on the Review Thread.

    I tried everywhere to get a print, with no luck. Eventually, my son made an enlargement of the internet photo, and I now have it framed on my wall.

    I don't think it was actually called the Emirates FA Cup back then.

    There are 56 Thankful Villages in the UK located to date - villages that had no fatalities in the First World War - from Herodsfoot in Cornwall to Meldon in Northumbria. Remarkably, the village of Arkholme in Lancashire sent 59 men and they all came home!

    From.Wikipedia.....

    In an October 2013 update,[3] researchers identified 53 civil parishes in England and Wales from which all serving personnel returned. There are no Thankful Villages identified in Scotland or Ireland yet (all of Ireland was then part of the United Kingdom).[4]

    Fourteen of the English and Welsh villages are considered "doubly thankful", in that they also lost no service personnel during World War II.
