Thats the answer I get from the many people I've met, whilst doing my research on WW1 soldiers. They have all gone away delighted, that some one has given them information they thought would never be known, If I can give them a picture as well then thats all the better. One old lady in Accrington Library, started crying when she saw her Grandfather for the first time.

Having read that Retlaw, I wouldn't mind talking to my Dad's Dad, who died long before I was born, much the same way my Mothers Mum, who died when I was 4 would be nice to here their thoughts on life as they see it now
