Stephen his name is Henry E Field born 1926 West Ham
he is my great uncal Harry

I didnt know about that reunion for HMS Hood Stephen. I had the hat band for HMS Hood as well as HMS ISIS I wish I knew where I had put them.

My uncle was a regular in the navy then he came out and was out about four years and rejoined when the war started. I have a photo of him in his whites he does look smart. he used to smoke and always put his ciggies in his hat. I use to think that was so funny when I was little, he use to do magic tricks and I would get a penny or three pence come out of his hat magic. he brought me my first Preium bonds the day they came out. god bless him and I still have them.

My youngest son phoned to say my granddaughter and my daughter in Law went to Southampton yesterday after going to Portsmouth to look at Southampton University she has deceided that is the one she will head for. my son said she will have to sell the car he brought her for christmas her fees for uni are £8000 a year 3 years course. and her accommadation is £100 a week she has her food and books to buy. He told her you wont need that car it will be taxed and left in the garage, so might as well sell and get a another one after university.
she works at weekend but her money is not good, she is trying so hard to get a job at weekends and evenings so she can save,
shame when kids want to get on and Money once again is the problem.

jean loveing your new photo :-)

Rita,
Do you have any photos of your Uncle on board HMS HOOD ?

The Hood Association are always keen to add to their archives with details of anyone who sailed on the ship at anytime.

If you can get me the dates he sailed on her I will pass them on to the Association if you wish. His name, Number, Rank etc would be idle.

Then you will know it will be on record for all time for all to see.

well stephen do you no somethink about me great uncal harry
im hopeing you are digging up some think
:D

Thank you Shelly, that is my 'baby' Max, he is very special to me, I delivered him 6 years ago, born Christmas eve, so I actually spent the night in a stable. He is a very gentle boy, takes after his mum, she and Max can both pull my vardo. He used to love people but at the moment he is very wary of them, but I think in time he will trust them again.
Scarlett loves to sit on him, but then she loves horses, not really surprising I suppose.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
We had sun this morning but this afternoon we have had rain and thunder.
Take care everyone.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

jean carnt say i no any think about horses
but it looks like a shiar horse to me

i love the swishe tale and his feet

Hi all.
Well, I am now a great grandmother. A baby girl, Gracie-Mai, born at 9.45 a.m this morning.
I am really annoyed with my grandaughter, she phoned her father after the baby was born, but not her mum.
Her father in turn got great delight in telling my daughter that they were now grandparents.
My daughter has bought every single thing for baby Gracie-Mai, her father has bought nothing at all.
And then she has the cheek to tell her dad first, I am disgusted with her.
As you have no doubt guessed, my daughter and grandaughters dad are no longer together.
The dad gave my gradaughter nothing but grief all her life, and now she has poo'd on her mum from a great height.
My daughter is not allowed to go and see the baby till tomorrow, as grandaughter has said she can't. OOOh I could wring her neck for her.

Congratulations Mo........... you poor old great granny. What a lovely name they've picked for the baby.

I can understand how annoyed you are with your granddaughter, I bet you give her a piece of your mind when you see her. Do you have any idea why she snubbed her mam like that? It seems a strange thing to do.

Jean, Max looks lovely, you must be so proud of him. Sounds like he has a lovely nature as well as good looks.

Shelly, any luck with the photos yet? I'm not sure anyone would recognize people in them because It's hard to make the faces out......... well, it is for me!

Rita, I'm amazed that so many people go to University if it's that expensive. I know they don't have to pay it back straight away but it's still a lot for young people to pay back.

Stephen, when does your son come home?

Yvonne, what did you have to do to win the coconuts?

Oh Mo that's sad... has your daughters Ex been to see the baby ?
I wonder who has been the first from her family ......I would be fuming if anyone had been to see my grandchild before I did, like you say Mo he don't sound too good of a man .......never mind I bet she is lovely maybe all will be forgotten in a day or two.


Jean ...What a great looking Horse, so unusual in his black & white . I would think most people stop and look when you are on the road.

Stevey ....My Blankly will be on until its a heat wave....LOL


:D

Hello Mo !

Congralulations !

I've never written to a Great Gran before.

Mo, Concentrate on the Baby and the mother............let the rest fight among themselves if they want to.

Just you let that wee soul know how much her Gr Gran loves her.. That's whats important. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

My niece is home from Paris and she's made her mind up that she wants to live there. She's been toying with the idea for about 5 years now, but after working there for 'A WHOLE WEEK' she's sure she wants to move there. She's going to go to one of their universities after she gets her A levels.

Mind you, the fact that she met and worked with 'the most handsome man on the planet' might have had something to do with her decision. I don't think she told her boyfriend that bit!!

Pauline,

She wasn't in Scotland was she ?

I thought we were the best. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Aww Mo, she's beautiful, bet you can't wait to cuddle her, she looks so peaceful.

You didn't happen to be in Paris last week Stephen did you?

Dame Shelly,

The Personal Records relating to your Uncle Harry are only available to 'Family'.

I'd love to be able to help but can't.

The 'National Archives' are available on line for a lot of information.

Do you know the names of any of the Ships he served on ?

Lovely Photo Mo...

See I bet you've forgotten all the pandemonium , looking at that gorgeous face ! <3

Thanks for sending....

Pauline,

Are there any eggs in your little basket ? You have eggs, I bring bread, someone brings wine, (Irn Bru for me) Light a fire, get the pan on. Magic. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Just chocolate ones Stephen. I brought a blanket to sit on........... what more do you want?
