H. Morrey Salmon

Pictured when he was a Lieutenant & Adjutant, 16th (Cardiff City) Battalion, The Welch Regt. at Ypres in 1917. Morrey Salmon was awarded the Military Cross & Bar in the Great War.
Note the hessian netting to stop enemy artillery & sniper observation of British troop movements.

Legend
He always had time for the young uns.
Top birding outfit - just the ticket for some local haunts!
His book is like stepping into birding time machine. Some great anecdotes, many sad though but riveting none the less. Indeed, the man was a legend.
