5179: Home of Heroes: Harriet’s War
In the dark, the cries of the wounded men on the front line
echoed, their hoarse voices calling for the ‘angels on wheels’ to come save
them. One such angel was Harriet Weekes, an ambulance driver in the First Aid
Nursing Yeomanry. As the fourth and only female Weekes sibling, Harriet had joined
up to do her part in the war just like her brothers. Some said she was
reckless. Some said she drove like a bat out of Hades. But when there were
people who needed her help, she was an angel on wheels.

5180: Gold Collection: Father and Son
For many generations, there had been a Count von Regenskirch
in the German Army. This duty had passed from father to son – but then, during
the First World War, the Count was killed and his small son disappeared.
But that child was not dead. Grown to manhood, he now stood
proudly in military uniform. But it was the wrong uniform, the wrong country,
and he was now fighting against Germany. What strange twist of fate had caused
this mystery?

5181: Action and Adventure: Tommy’s War
November 11th, 1918. Armistice.
The war was over… or so most thought, but some still held to
the regime of battle, and kept a tight hold of their prisoners.
All the Weekes family wanted was to be together again, but
Tommy lay far away on the other side of the shrapnel filled fields
of No
Man’s Land. It was all or nothing, and the Weekes family would do anything to
get Tommy back!

5182: Silver Collection: Battling Boneshakers
They were “wood-and-wire wonders”, these early aircraft of
World War One – hard enough to fly, let alone fight in! To make things worse
for the pilots of the newly formed Royal Flying Corps, the enemy were quick
enough to perfect a gun that fired successfully through the propeller arc of
their Fokker Eindeckers.
Men like Gus Mathieson had their work cut out to survive –
even using their puny pistols until a British gun could be developed to counter
the “Fokker Scourge”.
