Looks like the BBC is forecasting some intense weather today in Maidstone...why has no one been told to evacuate???

So..... According to Ancestry, I'm now between 8 and 20% Dutch... Just pass me all the Stroopewaffles!! Mind you, I wonder what my grandad would say as he was in the 6th Dragoon Guards in the 2nd Boer War🤣

So...the new uniform and badges are unveiled for the now combined RAMS...someone in the head shed has questions to answer methinks. A Volntary service now is it??

So...the West Surrey Family History Fair is a go...pse note new date, and also that I'll be there with some original uniform bits and my Military Genealogical helpdesk. wsfhs.co.uk/pages/openday.… #familytreemaguk #SocGenealogists #GenealogyJude #genealogybaby #photogenealogy
