Title: BBC WW2 War Stories web-site
Post by: censusmick on Monday 01 October 12 13:17 BST (UK)

This is a request, not so much for Family History, but help regarding my areas Local History.

I found on the BBC WW2 War Stories web-site an entry for someone who lived 2 doors away from where I still live.
I knew his brothers that he mentioned, also his parents ( when I was a kid ).

I took note of the ID Number and Article number, then e-mailed the BBC for help in contacting him.

Unfortunately, all I received was a 'stock' automated reply, and that if I had a complaint etc, who to contact.

My problem is - where do I go from here ?

Has any-one else experienced this 'problem' with this site ?

Any suggestions as to what I should do next would be gratefully appreciated ? ( giving up is NOT an option !! )

Should I resort to the good 'ol pen, paper and s.a.e ?

Thanks in advance

I know it is old fashioned but so is the BBC. I would think that an old fashioned letter will produce better results.

I would suspect if you put in the letter what you have posted they will redirect what your letter on and pass the responsibility to the originator.

I have no idea if they would have the courtesy to inform you of their actions and I would be intrigued to know,

Any way good luck
