Atonement

Long time East Yorks member Nick Wall reports he can be seen in the following clip between the 3rd and 6th second mark. Nick is the soldier in the FS cap and greatcoat talking to the seaman. Nick says it was a good experience and he could not have missed it as it was on his doorstep. The kit was all very good. Nick was issued Canadian trousers converted 49 pattern blouses copy greatcoat all wartime dated webbing and relined helmet. Nick took his own FS with an East Yorks badge in.

Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway 1940's Weekend

The Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway 1940's Weekend was an excellent and well run event with lots of atmosphere and activity. A highlight was the attendance on Saturday of East Yorks veterans Alf Ackroyd and Dennis Peachey and members of their families. It was a real privilege to listen to Alf and Dennis' wartime experiences. On the Saturday evening there was a very enjoyable dance. On Sunday morning the East Yorks held a church parade with other groups joining in.
