Hello Everyone The BBC are broadcasting a series of three one hour programmes showing colour movie footage which was filmed in the 1920's by Claude Friese-Greene. The first program, which starts at Lands End in the south west of England, was on Tuesday 18 April and can still be seen by following this link:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/programmes/?id=friese_greene Unfortunately the first programme will be removed from the web site during Tuesday 25 April, presumably to be replaced by the second programme. The second programme due to be screened in the UK on Tuesday 25 April will almost certainly travel through part of Shropshire. Any of you who want to see what the land of your UK ancestors looked like in the 1920's will really enjoy this. Sorry this message is so late in the day, I have only just watched the first programme myself. Mike Shropshire, UK

It's still on the web-site 25th Eastern Standard Time, unfortunately only available for viewers in the UK. That's a bit sad. Oh well! Another ANZAC day dawns. Lest we forget.
