beachcomber australia May the Fourth be with you too! How can you not know..... That on 8th July 2015 we will make our collection of Catholic parish register microfilms freely available online on a dedicated website. These records, which are considered the single most important source of information on Irish family history prior to the 1901 census, consist primarily of baptism and marriage records and date from the 1740s to the 1880s.

Most of the soldiers are from the Army Service Corps (ASC), who provided both horsed and motorised 'drivers' for the Army, which fits with the Royal Army Motor Depot location. In the centre is a warrant officer (sergeant major) of the ASC (note coat of arms rank badge on lower sleeve), and to the left is a Lance Corporal of the South Lancashire Regiment.
