My Dad writes "Skelly's only sold Britains.It was a newsagants but he also sold soldiers. Ashbrooke Road was the name of the street and it was near The archway in North London.When I started buying soldiers he sold soldiers of the 2nd world war but they also had 1st world war. Skelly was on an attack he recounted one day in France and he got a hand wound. An old sweat rubbed the blood all over his face and said "Get back down the line son". Skelly said he might have saved his life. The place that sold Hill's was called Hill (by chance) and it was a provisions store but sold John Hill soldiers. My mum wouldn't let me shop in there unless it was for soldiers. She said it was dirty.I only bought first world war hills. when the big soldiers came out I never bought them cos they were the wrong scale to my other soldiers"
