MILITARY WEDDING

Considerable interest was taken in the village on Sunday afternoon in the marriage at St James’ Church of Miss Phyllis Avison Dobbs, only daughter of Mr & Mrs C H Dobbs of 6 Albert Grove, Westbourne Street, Hull, and Mr George Robert Bell, only surviving son of the late Mr & Mrs Edward Bell of Hull.  Canon W C Allsebrook, RD (Vicar of Badsey) officiated, and the choral service included the hymns “O Perfect Love” and “O Father, all Creating”.  Appropriate wedding music was also played by the organist, Mr Leslie Sharp.

Flag day at Badsey

Sir

Much interest has been caused by the flag that appeared on the top of the Wellingtonia poplar tree in Badsey on Jubilee morning.  To one who would not even climb an apple tree, let alone a tree 110 feet high, I rate this achievement as a local Everest climb and would like to congratulate the lads who scaled the  tree’s difficult, sometimes hazardous, face.

Flying the flag at Badsey

Sir

My brother, Buster Mustoe, of The Round of Gras, Badsey, said he refuses to enter into any arguments about the flag on Johns’ tree for King George V’s Jubilee.  I therefore feel I should tell my story of the occasion.

On Jubilee Eve 1935 (I think it was May 5) the late Phil Sparrow and my brother decided that they would show the flag to confuse Harry Johns (who then lived at Pool House) and, with his son Lance, had Moseley connections.
