Whilst we were house sitting for Marin and Katie Peglar at orchard farm, Vin repaired a few floorboards. These floor boards are 90 years old and have worn really well. Some of the few that were replaced turned to sawdust when they were removed. The house is built on top of a german trench.
Martin gave Vin the rifle pictured above and now has pride of place below my son Lee's regimental photo.
The rifle was used from 1916 and possibly again during the second world war.
Martin has a lot of memorabilia as you can see. He is also an author and is in great demand for his knowledge of the war.
