Received the following today, here is part:

Denbury Junior Leaders Regt Association denburyjuniorleaders.com.

On a GOOGLE SEARCH  it clearly states it is an association. The rules for association are well laid down. I have to assume it is UN-INCORPORATED, but have now idea how it is run or how donation are recorded and expenses accounted for.

Back in 2014 when putting this website together, I made a request to the Royal Signals Association being a life member, that denburyjuniorleaders.com be listed as a member’s website, in their wisdom listing was under “Denbury Junior Leaders Regt Association”, discussed with Bob Wathen RIP at the time and Bob felt the link should remain as we both hoped that this dormant association, that was in place on “joining up again” in 2002 would return, the association was wound up some time ago and all funds were passed to the cost of the “Denbury Boys Bench” at the National Arboretum, understand now that this bench is now in very poor condition due to a lack of maintenance.

Need to make a statement regarding copyright on this website, if claiming this the following would appear “Copyright 2004 SWW All Rights Reserved”, instead the statement at the bottom of each page “Copyright: We don’t mind if you copy the material but please be decent about it and acknowledge this website”.

The home page states “Thanks go to the Royal Signals Museum – Wire magazine – Mid Devon Advertiser – Western Morning News also Denbury Boys and staff who are in touch have contributed items and have made the important financial donations to make this all possible”, it is impossible to put ownership to all images as many of the same were sent by several folks and then was able to pick the best quality one, having a photograph does not mean you own it unless you took it, if you are on it clearly you could not have taken it, I rest my case!

Denbury official photographs were “crown copyright” however understand this does cease after 50 years, BTW at the very beginning of this project, tried to track down the photographer “Nicholas Horne Ltd of Totnes” who took these official photographs, long out of business, no records, also tracked down the Newton Abbot printers who took on printing the graduation programmes, spoke to a gentlemen on the phone who remembers throwing out what they had a few years before.

For the record back in 2004 applied for and received a permit to display “crown copyright” material, also checked with the Royal Signals Museum and Wire magazine and got the go ahead to publish their material as long as I mentioned them.

This website is now dedicated to Bob “Taff” Wathen RIP and will go through my files seeking out items of interest and troop/group images, however this will take some time.

Thank you
Steve Wright
