Buglers of the Lincolnshire Regiment sound a fanfare, from the roof of the Guildhall, to mark the start of Thanksgiving Week at the end of WW2 (1945).

Colin Everitt and George Ward had both lived in Westwick Gardens, Lincoln. In their youth, Colin was a Bugler with the Sea Cadets, and George a Bugler with the Army Cadets. When they were old enough both lads joined the 1st Battalion of the Royal Lincolnshire Regiment. After 2 years in the Malayan jungle, George joined the Corps of Drums only to find that Colin Everitt had got there first. George also followed Colin to serve as the C.O.'s Bugler in Osnabrook. George was made up to full Corporal on tour in Cyprus. Pictures courtesy of George Ward.

7 Aug 2007:   "My name is Gwendolyne Holland, daughter of the late Leslie Kirk. I recently came across your site. My father was in Malaya in 1957 and I have a photo you might like to add to your site. My father is the one on the left with the moustache. There are other soldiers in the photo - maybe someone might recognise them. My father married my mother in Melaka in 1958."   Gwen Holland.
