Christmas Tree decoration making with Pennikkity Pots

Our entertainment this morning was of our own making.  Charlotte from Pennikkity Pots came to us to help us get creative for the Christmas season.  Some of us painted Christmas tree decorations and a good time was had by one and all as shown by these photos.

Dad, what did you do in the war?

Thanks to Pat Ainger for her talk about what some of her family did in World War 1 and 2.  Pat is a former history teacher who had researched the lives of her grandfather in World War 1 and her husband's father in World War 2 .  Her talk was based on her personal family research with the group.  A very interesting and emotional talk.  Many thanks.

A WW1 poster encouraging men to sign up.  Apparently it didn't matter if you had bad teeth!

Government issue bicycles which the men used to get around Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex guarding the coastline and digging trenches.

Mr Ainger as a prisoner of war in WW2.



Army photos of the regiment.

Research papers.
