I have been to Staindrop. My mother and granny were born there, it's a lovely village.

I would like to visit Staindrop again sometime to see how much it has changed since 1943. I was serving with the R.Es and we were in a tented camp on the outskirts of the town and doing Army Exercises out on the Moors and using live ammunition.
I remember the local Pub because all the "live" stuff was kept in the cellars and every morning we would go there to collect what we needed . I dont know what the Landlord thought having that lot underneath him.
Maybe one day I call in for a Pint and remind the present landlord that he missed a lot of exitement.
Better not leave it too long as I am 85 yrs.
Regards to all who read this useless information!
