He betrayed the people.<br />And I had a comrade in the uniform -making gubernia who stole corn and was found to be a kulak.

Tim and I formed a platoon of boy-soldiers; we used our fathers' military gear and dressed up as soldiers. We paraded in our back gardens and Tim acted Capt Mainwaring! It was great fun and I have a snap or two of those times. Timothy Collins really looked the part - very smart - with his Dad's medal ribbons etc. I looked quite authentic too because my Dad was a major in the Army!<br /><br />TimTimothy Belmonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111145260662707575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623721153002721356.post-32444673666135024652009-05-26T09:58:37.670+01:002009-05-26T09:58:37.670+01:00That's most intriguing, Chekov.

One day we were playing at an old sand-pit and I fell on a piece of corrugated-iron, causing a one inch gash on my wrist. Timothy Collins took me to Mrs Collins nearby and she dressed my wound. <br />I still have the scar and it can be clearly seen today. <br />Tim Collins and I lost touch when we grew up and I haven;t met him for forty years; I still see Mrs Collins, though and know her.<br /><br />TimTimothy Belmonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111145260662707575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623721153002721356.post-25214829885951024042009-05-26T09:08:22.076+01:002009-05-26T09:08:22.076+01:00Haven't heard anything about the DUP Tim, but rumo...Haven't heard anything about the DUP Tim, but rumours abound that Tim Collins will be the Conservative and Unionist candidate.Owen Polleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567787385096905811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623721153002721356.post-64872599237305025532009-05-25T22:24:26.319+01:002009-05-25T22:24:26.319+01:00Any speculation as to Peter Robinson's DUP success...Any speculation as to Peter Robinson's DUP successor in East Belfast?
