        I knew her picture looked familiar. I think I saw it in June at the Imperial War Museum in the VC/GC exhibit...or maybe in the WW II section. I just knew I had seen that photo of her thsi summer at some time.

        Just your luck to have a Yank pay attention.

              • Nice idea, but that is not what I am looking for. If the area was used for that I am unaware of that.

                Its a Boy Scout camp.

                    I figure I'd post the answer

                    Four Chaplains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                    The Memorial Chapel there is dedicated to the memory of Rabbi Alexander Goode, one of the Four Chaplains from the USAT Dorchester sinking in World War 2. Rabbi Goode had been a Scout Leader in the Council prior to the war and had been a Boy Scout himself.

                              Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

                              Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.
