Well here we are Wednesday afternoon and it looks as though I am the first to post!
I wonder if this means everyone else has gone back to work, on the golf course or playing tennis!!  :) :)

Anyway, I came across this and kick myself for not realing earlier that I had it and should have displayed it on VE Day - it is a copy of The Cross and Swords news (Issue 206) issued on VE Day Tuesday 8 May 1945.  It is a little feint, perhaphs this was due to the printing method.  It is also foolscap size which obviously does not fully fit on today's modern A4 scanners!  Hence I had had to do two scans per page and so there is some duplication.

Enjoy the read.

Mike  ;)
