Bromyard RBL would like to extend their thanks to Mr Brian Johnson of B&M Johnson Bromyard (Friend of Bromyard RBL) and his family for taking on the challenge of making the branch a First World War tank for staging at the Bromyard Scarecrow Festival exhibit.

So good was their effort that it took first prize on the day.

Jan Brodie-Murphy, secretary Bromyard RBL, said "The First World War soldier and tank made by Brian is very realistic and a work of art".

"It is so good we are keeping it until the Poppy Pageant Parade on September 15 at the Rugby Club where it will be paraded with great pride".
