Avice-Claire wrote about Jack Jenkinson because of our WWI Roadshow. There's a great story from that day on the <a href="http://www.europeana1914-1918.eu/en" rel="nofollow">Europeana 1914-1918</a> site, and you can also have a look at images/stories that were gathered then. Thank you, Mike.

"Death or Glory" is the motto of the 17th Lancers. If you look closely at the photograph of Jack Jenkinson in his uniform, you will see the skull badge on his collar.
