Hi Dear Folk,
It seemed appropriate to post this on 11-11-2018 a hundred years today WWI ended, Armistice Day. Have you been following along on the Letters From the Front at the top of my blog? Captain J. D. Hills, and the Berryman family letters?
The last train, called Holkham Hall ran on 28th August 1952. Lady Ann daughter of the 5th Earl of Leicester was there to meet the train. If you can enlarge the pictures you can read what was said.
Some of the men who went off to war. The letter was from a young man expecting his job back in the laundry, it seems that it had been promised to him, but was not forth coming after he came back from the war. He's asking if he can't have that position could he have a position working in the gardens. I'm sure that was a plight of many young men who came back.

Very fitting timing on this, Christine.
