Editors Letter Welcome to the March issue of Village View, once again packed with local advertisers and community information.

We often receive very positive feedback about our front cover pictures but we sometimes struggle to find high quality, seasonal, local photographs. We would very much welcome photographic contributions from any of our readers and one of the members of our team (Debbie) is attending training provided by Photrain (Page 7) so that we can start to build a bank of appropriate pictures for the magazine (she was able to supply the lovely picture of a frosted rose on last months cover).

Photrain run courses in photography at all levels, from beginners to advanced and aim to demystify the technical aspects of photography using practical examples and plain language. They also have Gift Vouchers available – perfect for birthdays!

Have you tried our recipes? This month we have a lovely recipe for Stuffed Peppers, contributed

by Hilary Warren. We would love to receive feedback if you have tried and tested any of our recipes during the past few months (villageview@live.co.uk) and are always grateful for local recipe contributions.

REPS No:R0049192 Pilates targets the deep postural muscles, building strength from the inside out, rebalancing the body and bringing it into the correct alignment. It helps to reshape your body, which will become longer and leaner and more toned.

It will also improve your posture, achieving the perfect balance between strength and flexibility and it is a great way to reduce stress or unwanted tension. Perfect for athletes looking to enhance their performance and it is also ideal for first-time exercisers.

Its slow, controlled approach means it gives much longer-term results. It is especially recommended by medical specialists for those with back problems.

Hamlet Historians

War Horses in Lane End In September 1913, just one year before the outbreak of the First World War, Sir Douglas Haig and other senior generals conducted military manoeuvres across South Buckinghamshire, involving thousands of infantry, cavalry and, experimentally, four planes from the Royal Flying Corps; quite a spectacle for local people.

Unsurprisingly, school registers for those five days show an unusually high level of absenteeism.

Haig’s “Brown” army marched north from Aldershot to defeat the retreating “White” army. As all the bridges between Windsor and Sonning had been “destroyed” by the Whites, Haig’s forces attempted to cross the Thames at Medmenham using pontoons. The accidental drowning of three horses caused the umpires to order the remaining horses to use the “miraculously restored” Marlow Bridge.

In the final phase of manoeuvres General Lawson’s army, which was camped at

Hambleden, was instructed to capture the pumping station on Bledlow Ridge. General Lomax, who was camped at West Wycombe, was ordered to defend the Ridge. The “Battle for Bledlow Ridge” was fought across a wide area stretching from Ibstone to Lane End and Booker. Once Stokenchurch had “fallen”, Lomax’s men retreated towards Bledlow Ridge and the exercise was halted. One wonders whether the lessons learned in the analysis of the operation could have in any way prepared the leaders or the men for the horrors of the Western Front. Interestingly, it was noted that aeroplanes would only be of limited use in wartime.
