Incredibly interesting.

I have photographs of my granddad playing football with other POWs during WW1. I also have pictures of the Royal Warwicks training and getting ready to depart for Europe.

The Yeomanry museum in Warwick, in the basement of the tourist information office, is worth looking around, as well as the Royal Warwickshire Regiment museum down the road in St. Johns.
