A big “Happy Birthday To You” Jacqui from all your friends in and around Parwich!

Your 1940s themed birthday party at the Legion was a brilliant success! You and the other organisers put so much effort into the decorations, the music and of course the amazing costumes. A great time was had by all.

We have received the following email from Carole B (nee Gibbs). Please comment or email the blog team if you have any information or can help:

Hi,

I wonder if you could help me please? My Uncle Ken tells me that there was a photo of my Grandfather Charles Gibbs on a wall in the Legion. He was in the army then so it must be very old (first world war). Do you think someone living in Parwich would help me to locate it if it is still there and email me a copy? I will gladly pay any costs, postage, printing etc. Also any pics of my Uncle Harold or any of the Gibbs family would be much appreciated.

Thank you
