Lord Roberts and Winston Churchill were the only people -  apart from Royals -  to have a State Funeral in England!


Sorry to 'dig up' an old(ish) thread, but just thought you may be interested in my web page concerning Lord Roberts' funeral in 1914.

Best wishes -

I was just thinking Garen!

You said you were "sparked" by a cousin - thats how things get started -
one or two small things - kind of "grow"
I'm working on an Honour Roll right now of my Granddad's battalion -
started off as a small rememberence - is going to end up a work of art.......!! ::)
and I was "sparked "by an extremely knowledgable man on this board

You have given me inspiration - thanks again!

Annie  ::) ::) :D :D

Garen!

There are a lot of people on the Great War Forum who would be very interested in your site ... have you posted over there too?

http://www.1914-1918.org/forum/index.php

I'm still in awe - sorry to keep going on...... :P
