Eve of battle
The Last Bantam at Hanbury Memorial Hall, Staffordshire!
Many thanks to Katty for inviting me to perform, her team of Erin, Steve, Jude and Dave, and the marvellous people of Hanbury who turned out to see my show on one of the hottest days of the year.
I salute you!

@3dumbtheatre You're going to be fine Stephen! The better known shows may attract more people, yes, but they'll also prompt curiosity for Poe's other works, you wait and see!

Arthur Askey, former Bantam and star of stage and screen, was a frequent visitor to Scarborough, performing there right into the 70's!

Spot the officer!

One of things that defined Bantams was their uniformity in height. Officers and NCOs however, would often tower over them, making them easy targets for the enemy.
Here we see D Company marching in Ilkley in 1915. Guess which one's the NCO! …

[MICHAEL HUGHES @TheLastBantam]

Bantam's on a mission! But where's he off this grey and gloomy day?
