Brilliant…your putting Mrs Brunner’s scrapbook on line. I am researching the men named on a memorial (in the church of St Mary Magdalen in Newark Nottinghamshire) to Major Brunner and the men of the 67th Field company Royal Engineers. so much useful information about army, church and town. Thank you
