  Great snippets of information you have uncovered Kath, really interesting reading. I wonder what happened to the bound copies of 'The Illustrated London News' which my Great Grandfather passed down. Last time I saw them was when my Dad caught me strapping them to my roller skates to use as an early skateboard.
  
  I was smarting for a few days lol!

  Did I hear recently that the Illustrated London News is now on line, and you can look things up ?

  The Annual Manoeuvres made amazing write ups - I think one of the biggest was in the 1860s when there were tens of thousands of men on the land and ships
  Been nice knowing you :)
