Here are some photos from the Haworth 1940's weekend. On the Saturday we were honoured to meet Dennis Peachey an original 10 Platoon 'B' Company East Yorkshire Regiment veteran (1940-1946) - a 2 inch mortar man who landed on D-Day and saw out the war with the East Yorks. The veteran in the light blue jacket is Arthur Lumb. He served in "A" company of the 2nd Battalion East Yorkshires, 18.06.1942 - 10.03.1947. He served in Miranshah on the Afghan Border. The veteran in the Dark blue jacket with his service medals is Vincent White. Vincent initially served in Infantry support anti tank in HQ company. Both he and Arthur witnessed the same incident during anti tank training at Inveraray.
