We Will Remember Them!
Last week I visited the Clifton Park Museum in Rotherham. The last time I visited the Museum was some years ago. Sadly the York & Lancaster section has been considerably reduced since then and now consists of a small room with a couple of showcases and a chest of drawers with one drawer for each country the York & Lancs. fought in. However the good news is that the staff were magnificent. We were given a warm welcome by the doorman who then showed us to the York & Lancs. section. Then we went to the archives section of the museum where the staff were wonderful and very helpful. I gave them a copy of my book "Battle For Monte Natale", and we had a lovely chat. They told me that 70% of the museum's enquiries relate to the York & Lancs. Regiment.
The Italy drawer of the York & Lancs:
The contents of the drawer were as follows:
The keepsake says Buon Natale:
There was also a photo of York & Lancs. soldiers in Italy but no further information If anyone recognises them please do let me know!
