Virginia National Guard field artillery Soldiers explain the capabilities of the M119A2 howitzer, answer questions about the Guard and take part in a demonstration of 400 years of Virginia artillery during the Military Through the Ages event March 21, 2015, at the Jamestown Settlement in Williamsburg, Va. Hundreds of re-enactors portrayed military organizations from Roman times, the medieval period, Hundred Years’ War, War of the Roses, French and Indian War, American Revolution, War of 1812 and American Civil War as well as World Wars I and II, the Vietnam War and the Falklands War with Soldiers from the Hampton-based Battery B, 1st Battalion, 111th Field Artillery, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team representing the modern military. The event also gave the Soldiers the opportunity to train on crew drills and fire blank ammunition to improve their proficiency to prepare for live-fire training scheduled for their April drill weekend. The Virginia National Guard traces the heritage and traditions of citizen service to the founding of the Jamestown Settlement May 14, 1607, where Capt. John Smith organized a militia to defend the colony. There has not been a day since without a military presence in Virginia to defend freedom at home and overseas.

Is this the longest name for the shortest street in York?
It's thirty five metres long and was the site of a pillory, hence the name. Men could legally take their wife here to be flogged.

A couple of weeks ago, I got the last lot of Merseyside PTE tickets that adambrown400 had for sale on eBay. I wasn't going to buy these in the first place, but, seeing as no-one else was, I thought I may as well have them and very interesting they were too. Among this little lot were two second class child Interchange tickets.
Mersey Interchange services were six experimental "bus to rail" services in the Liverpool area, using specially marked buses and one of these was service A1. Anyway, it's all explained here on page 27 of the North/South Divisions timetable, dated 6 May 1974.
