@PhilOCPhotos Hi Phil. Any luck with this?

[John Broom @barnsleyrunner1]

@philocphotos

I hope I've got the right photographer.

This is a photo of my wife running the South Downs Marathon in 2006. You wouldn't happen to have a copy of the original I could purchase from you, if this is your work.

Thanks.

@GoldenAgeCrickt @PictureSporting MCC to South Africa 1913/14?

[John Broom @barnsleyrunner1]

@PhilOCPhotos That would be great, thank you!

[John Broom @barnsleyrunner1]

@wenchintrench @SWWEC1 curate things well and are very helpful with access, unlike some other archives.

[John Broom @barnsleyrunner1]

@cluelesspegg @WeHaveWaysPod @chiselbury Will definitely want a copy of this. My father was a sincere Christian who served in the RAMC in the war.

He mentioned chaplains quite a few times in his letters.

Really looking forward to see what you've unearthed.

In a surprising turn of events...

@westyjase Many conventional Christians would be only too glad if the modern interpretation of Christmas were to be toned down.

Adam isn't sure if he's defending tradition or religion here.

[John Broom @barnsleyrunner1]

@westyjase Well hello Mr Soul...

[John Broom @barnsleyrunner1]

@westyjase @R0Poem By and large the people who served in the two wars have now passed. Their remembrance was largely private. My father's medals remained unopened.

We're now onto 2nd and 3rd generation remembrance. Often things are done more overtly.

Especially since the WW1 100 anniversary.

@westyjase One of my favourite all-time footballers. Alongside Justin Whittle. More than mere kickers and headers of a ball.

@westyjase *safeguarding

[John Broom @barnsleyrunner1]

@westyjase I always wonder if this is a safeguard issue. Having to state your name and address in public for other customer to hear.

[John Broom @barnsleyrunner1]

@AlisonCamp5 @westyjase Smashing thank you.

[John Broom @barnsleyrunner1]

Could someone help me identify the full meaning of lines 1, 3, 4 and 6 on this Second World War service record please?
