Living In The Past

Today’s Blipfoto shows more fallen leaves in our way. I really should move them away, however, there are quite a number on the trees still to fall. The green bin is for recycling plastics and metal.

Today’s title refers to the extra which is a screenshot of a page from Cupar Heritage Society.

The photo shows W/O Dakers Fleming as a member of the  Cupar Boys Brigade Colour Party. The parade was part of the ceremony to dedicate the new colours.

The comments show a debate as to when this actually took place. A friend told me I had been identified and wondered if I could confirm the date.

I have prints of that particular and others. I also have all my various certificates, appointment cards and badges. A quick look through these would appear to confirm the date as 1968.

I was a member of the BB from the age of 7 through to 25 when professional work commitments made continued membership impossible.

I enjoyed my time in the Brigade. We had many adventures and much fun. Several of my close friends are from that time.
