#SommeStories
As well as poetry and other forms of art, the Somme has been commemorated through the many sketches available on #TheOgilbyMuster.
These pieces, believed to be by D J Sawyer (Royal Flying Corps), are part of the @museumercianWFR collection!

[Mercian Regiment @MercianRegiment]

#OTD 14 years ago, the #MercianRegiment was formed at @TamworthCastle.

This was the result of the amalgamation of the Cheshire Regiment, the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment and the Staffordshire Regiment.

Yesterday we had this photograph album donated. It belonged to Private Brittle who was a National Service soldier and ended up staying in the Regiment for a further 2 years. The cover of the album was by Private Brittle and was based on Malaya.
