Anzac: Miniserien..
När tv5 först började sända så gick den här serien. Såg den och tyckte den var sk*tbra..
Tack vare att deras utbud på den tiden var låt oss säga begränsat så körde dom allting om och om igen så andra gången den sändes så spelade jag in den på VHS.
Har säkert sett den 10 gånger men nu var det länge sen..
Lyckades hitta den på DVD på Ginza. Tror det tar ca 8 timmar eller nåt att se igenom hela, men det är det värt..
Och jag råkar ha en medalj från WW1 som varit i min ägo i över 45 år..
Med mina ögon så kan jag tyda "54425 pte h.t harling" sen så blir det blurrigt..
Regimental number 54425 belonged to Private Herbert Thomas Harling, who served in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment during World War I. Like many soldiers, he was later transferred, in his case, to the Labour Corps (where he was assigned service number 548549).
That's a Victory Medal, awarded to all British and Commonwealth personnel who served in active theatres of the war. I've had a quick look on Ancestry and there was only one Herbert Thomas Harling to be awarded the medal. He was born in Hertfordshire and lived in North London with his wife, Gladys Mildred Harling. Sadly, he died in 1934, leaving Gladys and their 13-year-old son, Thomas Alfred Harling. Thomas married and had a daughter in 1952 called Carol E Harling, who in turn married John L Burch in 1975. Your best bet is to try and find an address for Carol E Burch, who is possibly still in London or the surrounding area.
