No 14: Following on from No 12 - number 14 lock in a flight of 16 locks raising the Peak Forest Canal 209 feet over a distance of one mile. (Lock number 15 is in the distance.)
No worries you take 22 & I'll take 23......so we now need 24 & here it is.
Actual VC's awarded to John Chard VC & Robert Jones VC - Rorke's Drift 1879. 2nd Battalion, 24th Regiment South Africa......The movie Zulu was based on this action.
Photo taken last month at the Imperial War Museum, London
The No 24 is placed bottom left hand corner - not as clear on the smaller uploaded photo.
The item below the VC's is a paper knife from a blade of a Zulu spear....it was made by Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead (played by Michael Caine)
Bunk of an overnight train from Beijing to Shanghai... afraid that's the only printed sign I could find while digging in my collection
...
The below image is slightly more interesting although the number's not printed - speedometer as soon as from the back seat of my transfer to EZE.
It's only interesting when compared to another shot taken at the beginning of my holiday when being transferred from EZE to the hotel, in wet road conditions :shock: (I did make it safely though)
