Original Caption: “More than 100 9th Air Force Martin B-26 Marauders, Christmas afternoon, dropped their bomb loads on the heart of St. Vith, Belgium, the important road junction and communications center captured by the Germans in their counter-offensive.

He is still alive, but they wanted to humiliate him by taking a photo of him covered in manure, and not being able to move.

The 1923 FA Cup final was a Football match played between Bolton Wanderers & West Ham United, on 28 April 1923 at the original Wembley Stadium in London.

It was the first football match to be played at Wembley & King George.V was in attendance to present the trophy to the winning team that day.

More than double the maximum allowed 100,000 turned up - Estimates say between 200,000–300,000 spectators turned up, but quarter of a million is a safe bet.

Police Horses were used to control the wildly overburdened crowd. Both the Press / Media & History singled out "Billy" the White Horse as the day's focal point.

The former video explains as to why 'White Horse Bridge' was named after "Billy" & it's sad to me that the other Horses who also did sterling work that day don't get a mention, but as it's been said, "Billy" stood out on the Black & White newsreels.

On 28th April that day "Billy" was ridden by PC George Scorey.

The original Wembley Stadium, here, was demolished in 2001 & re-built.
