Isn't it amazing how we feel when we start reading and inwardly digesting - this information that we've known about for years but really didn't take much notice of ??  :-\

I know how emotional I felt about my Granddad .... but my problem is now ..... that I get emotional over all my soldiers ( doing Honour Rolls does that to you !!  ::) )

Well enjoy your new found history Mog !

If you scroll all the way down .......... stop when you come to # 9 !! :D

Dear Annie

Yes I have checked out the link. Just amazing.  And the information - yes - I see it with new eyes -thanks to John - Emotional ? - Yes same here! Many of the WW1 casualties were just children.  I shed a few tears when I saw Mona's Queen - wishing my Mum could have seen it too. Thank you RC - its grrreat!

And you are right - we must get back to Abiam.
Before I close - a postcard of a lovely paddle steamer approaching Infracombe, Devon in 1928, when there was a brief interlude to war. May the interludes grow longer and join together in a whole.

Hello everyone,

All these replies have just been pointed out to me by Maddie!  And I apologise for for not replying earlier.  I got immersed in Australia and somehow didn't get notification that this was still on going!

Liverpool Annie and cheshire mog hijacking doesn't come in to it as other peoples finds help us all to learn and to keep looking!

Thanks to you all for your help.  Now going ro read and digest,

Regards,
Abiam

Dear Abiam
Thank you for being so understanding
I have to say what John has told me has been a major find.
I get my 1000 posts on RC and then on the same day I make great inroads into my grandads service history! Best find in years!

How does it go ?  Ask and ye shall find ?

Just keep asking!
