Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

specially as I am trying to find relatives that served in the Manchesters in WW1.

well Kitty, you're very welcome to join our group, we're got a good team and probably the best resources for a regimental group

we might even get that quote from Col Elstob right for you

was your relative a 16th Battalion man?

I said I think! Been a little while since i saw the memorial window and plaque. We're researching a village my family comes from, and a lot ended up in the Manchesters. Will be some time before I get around to the Manchesters though, currently chasing the Seaforth Higlanders. i think. as to battalions, I have no idea. I'm not an army follower so very hazy on the structure.

The church at Siddington with the memorial windows for Elstob VC (The vicars son) and the men of the village.
