Hi Matt

Any chance of posting a photo of the painting of Patrick, or of any other people in your story? I am sure that others would like to see them too.

As someone has said previously, it is wonderful to know that someone as young as you is so interested in family history, and are so respectful when talking of your ancestors. We hear so many negative things about teenagers these days - you prove that there is hope for the future!!
Best wishes, Judy :-))

Hi Judy

I couldn't agree more with your comments. It sounds too good to be true. My sons were nothing like Matt at 18!

Lovely story though. I am recommending it to all my FH friends.

Thankyou very much for your comments :) They do mean alot!!!

As for pics, I will post them when I have completed the blog...so you can see them in all their glory...although haven't got many pics from this side of the family as they couldn't afford a camera.

Glad you guys are continuing to read!

We are all sitting here gagging for the next chapter Matt.  I can't believe you are only 18.  The maturity and respect that comes through in your account are so refreshing.  There is hope for the future after all.

My grandsons are 13 and learning about WW1 at school, I just wish they would show as much interest as you obviously have.
