Staffs/South Staffs Regt[edit]

Nedrutland, you are quite right about the Staffs Regiment, that was my fault as I didn't write up the text properly. The cite is from a newspaper and states:

....by soldiers stationed at Kirkleatham Hall, initially from the Argyle and Sutherland Regiment, then the 12th Green Howards and finally the South Staffordshire Regiment

(my italics). Thanks and regards. The joy of all things (talk) 06:25, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Location of the airfield[edit]

Aerial pictures (eg Google maps, satellite view) would suggest just to the west of Marske, rather than east? 86.26.194.154 (talk) 14:01, 10 December 2021 (UTC) Ian Glendinning[reply]

86.26.194.154 You are quite right, that was mr geographical error. Thanks for pointing this out. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 16:05, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
