298 RUNNERS IN THE BRIGG POPPY 10K - PICTURES BY KEN HARRISON

WW2 Jeep and British soldier - American jeep with the Allied Star insignia of all Allied Forces taking part in the Normandy Landings - to aid identification - in the same way, Allied aircraft were painted with under-wing black & white stripes. The Lee-Enfield .303 rifle was used in WW1 and was still the main British infantry weapon during WW2.....Indeed, it wasn't replaced until the early 1960s.

 Sincere thanks to Ken Harrison for these pix from the Brigg Poppy 10k in which he reports there were 298 runners - just two short of the permitted maximum. MANY MORE PIX FROM KEN TO COME...IN FUTURE POSTINGS
