I had the Dad's Army board game.

Loved playing it. The board's artwork was groovy.

Before my time sadly....

The Trooper 1815

He was also held in an Austrian prisoner of war camp. Sad news but he had a good spell on the drill square dieing at 92.

Really sorry to hear of his death. He was such a good actor and a natural comedian. I still like to see Dad's Army when it is shown on Sky, as well as "Last of the Summer Wine" British humour at its best.

I am trying to remember who used to pronounce "Mainwaring" as it is spelt in the TV programme.

Leslie - I do think of you as 'Foggy' on Last of the Summer Wine ...... I'm 'Compo' of course!

Oldun

There were a few who pronounced it Mainwaring, the welsh journalist bloke, the commander of the Eastgate platoon and a Colonel. From memory anyway. I have the complete box set at home

Leslie

Thanks Wurzel,I remember the Welsh journalist now.

Outstanding humour in my book.
