Uncle George Posted 21 January , 2015 Share Posted 21 January , 2015 I do hope this is NOT the beginning of a WiT woodland creatures sub-theme: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle George Posted 21 January , 2015 Share Posted 21 January , 2015 Amanda Nelson is not there of my doing, so should be ignored. They are not all of the same trade, and aren't Masons either. They do share the same surname however, and "craftsmen" was a mischievous reference to that. NF is your man Edward Cooper VC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMarsdin Posted 21 January , 2015 Share Posted 21 January , 2015 UG, John Russell VC or John Fox Russell to give him his full woodland sub-creature name ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverforget Posted 21 January , 2015 Share Posted 21 January , 2015 NF is your man Edward Cooper VC?Not Cooper but his name is an age old trade, that is just about still going, and is another way of describing how one might ply one's trade. I.E. he was good with words, or he was good with a sword, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wigwhammer Posted 21 January , 2015 Share Posted 21 January , 2015 Well, I think that may well be General Georg Fuchs - continuing the woodland creatures and my own vuilpine themes... Cheers Colin Not Cooper but his name is an age old trade, that is just about still going, and is another way of describing how one might ply one's trade. I.E. he was good with words, or he was good with a sword, etc. So a Smith of some ilk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverforget Posted 21 January , 2015 Share Posted 21 January , 2015 Yes! The Beaver himself. How about this ? ? ? That looks like the desert variety of fox to me, uncle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverforget Posted 21 January , 2015 Share Posted 21 January , 2015 Colin has deduced my man's name. Smith it is, so that narrows it down a bit. ? Can you tell me why he is highlighted in the picture? All five are blood relatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle George Posted 21 January , 2015 Share Posted 21 January , 2015 That looks like the desert variety of fox to me, uncle.Yes indeed. What's this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverforget Posted 21 January , 2015 Share Posted 21 January , 2015 I can see two more birds in there; bunting and crane, but I suspect I`m way off. Can`t see any woodland creatures as yet. Should I keep looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Upton Posted 22 January , 2015 Share Posted 22 January , 2015 That looks like the desert variety of fox to me, uncle. Yes indeed. Given that was his second appearance in 10 days (post 1421 with an almost identical picture!), not so difficult perhaps...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but the sub-theme has its challenges... I can see two more birds in there; bunting and crane, but I suspect I`m way off. Can`t see any woodland creatures as yet. Should I keep looking? Yes, still on the woodland creatures sub-theme. Burrowing creatures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All five are blood relatives. Then they must be the 7 sons of the Australians Frederick and Maggie Smith - 6 of the 7 (Herbert William, Frederick Walter, Alfred Ernest, Clarence Leslie, Errol Victor and Aubrey Lyall) were killed in action and the 7th, Francis Hume, the eldest, was the sole survivor. The inset photo, being an older man, must be of Francis. What a devastating tale. Cheers Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
