You must have been a very good girl. When the book arrives have a look at page 125...

Hi Bernard

Got book yesterday.....  I nearly fell over there's my (well my husband's great grandfather) man looking right back at me! goodness me and with a picture of the miltary cross too!  Husband can't wait to show his mum, we have pictures of him but from later in life but not from this period in tiem, she's (hopefully) going to be amazed.

Thanks again and a happy Christmas

Christine.

Back in 2006 'cat's mother' a request for Robert Hancock, Reg No 13609 who won a Military Cross at the Battle of the Somme.  I am a descendant of his father William, - my grandmother was brother to Robert, and my mother was a good friend of Robert's wife Gladys (I presume that is the maternals great grandmother spoken of (and yes I think I have the memoirs spoken of).  We live in NZ and have regular contact with Robert's son, Gordon.  We here in NZ would like to access the book mentioned in this correspondence so we can access that picture of Robert with his military cross. 
If any of the people involved in this correspondence would like to reply I'd love to "talk" with you about your research.
