Hi Andy,
thanks for remembering my Dad. He had a rough time as he had Motor Neurone Disease and his passing was a blessing for Dad as he had suffered for 3 long years. Very sad.
I have focussed on some family history myself and with help from a couple of forum members have been chasing maternal great grandfather and brother both KIA Mons with 1st Batt Lincs. Maybe only one brother with Lincs as looks like the other was in a different unit hence the research. So have started collecting to Lincs as well as DLI for my paternal grandfather in Durham Plas batt on the Somme. Dad was in Lincs so all close really. Just got onto my wife's great grandfather who was ASC at gallipoli and france.
Hope you have added some good badges to your East Surrey and RMLI ones as you have a great nucleus when you sent me photos originally.
Cheers Dean.
