British Campaign Medals of the First World War (WW1) British WW1 Campaign medals

Not sure I'd seen a cartoon of them before, but had heard of them, in the context of the set of three 1914-18 war medals that many soldiers got being known as 'pip, squeak and wilfred'

* that * is a landmark?

hmm.

and also illustrates how the 'pedestrian safety' idea of having a barrier at the kerb for a long stretch can have unintended consequences of people being stuck outside the barrier...

The 1939 National Identity Card

reference to it here - www.1911census.org.uk/1939

..."for example if they required access to enter a protected area under the defence regulations"

so the shipyard idea sounds likely.

I still haven't quite adjusted to the idea of them being older now than the 1938 stock was when it was retired (from london) for the second time...

These may already be known to many, but may be worth a mention -

maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/... - National Library of Scotland's OS map collection, the '25 inch' range can show house numbers.

Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November.
Unless a leap year is its fate,
February hath twenty-eight.
All the rest hath three days more,
excepting January,
which hath six thousand,
one hundred and eighty-four.
