This is a bit frivolous but I couldn't resist it. This clip was used in an episode of Are You Being Served? but was speeded up. It was used as part of a "This Is Your Life" for Young Mr Grace who said: "We didn't hang about in those days"

Cracking collection there Roger.

I used to be a "Son Of The Desert" and went to various conventions around the country. I went to a centenary convention in Blackpool 1990. I met Lord Delfont & Billy Marsh who were responsible for the Laurel & Hardy British Tours in the 1950's.

Thanks for adding me Chris. My modest contribution is mainly concerning the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. For the last 8 or so years I have been compiling a roll of honour for the battalion. I have completed 4 volumes covering the 1st Battalion. I am about 2 thirds through SDGW volume 28.
