This was a very good year for me as it gave me the opportunity to meet in person, two very special people who I discovered on the Internet a couple of years ago.

Janet Englefield grew up here in Battle, and we went to the same school, (Battle and Langton), in Marley Lane.

Although we had no recollection of meeting as school children, due to an age difference, we soon found from our E-mails that our families and friends had much in common  
For the technically minded, I shot these scenes with a Sony 8mm.Camcorder and then grabbed the frames digitally with a program called "AVI-Edit"

SCENES FROM THE BATTLEFIELD    
  Janet, and her husband Gerry Morris (top right) made the journey from Vancouver in Canada, to intermingle with  Norman Warriors, in a field which is only a stone's throw from the house in Lower Lake where Janet, nee Englefield, spent most of her childhood. 



Janet emigrated to Canada in 1948 just as I was returning from military service with the Irish Guards in Palestine
