An ancestor's moment you'd like to have witnessed?

May I have a second go?

May 1917,my grandfather got a communication informing him that my father was missing in action.
A further letter said it did not automatically mean he was killed, probably separated from his unit or captured as a POW.

Quite some time later notification  he was a P.O.W.

My Grandmother,his mother had died September 1916, just as he was ordered to go to ManchesterTown Hall to enlist, there must have been some time allowed for Grandma’s funeral.
Then nine months later Dad is missing,it must have been a great relief that he was not dead,especially so soon after Grandma.

I have the communications ,in the special file  for fragile documents.
I would like to have been there when the letter saying he was a POW and where in Germany he was arrived.

My g/grandparents. He born and raised in London, she, very pregnant, moved to London from Hull with hubby and 2 other kids.
4 years later (1871 census) hubby had moved back to Hull with 3 kids, she stayed in London. They never married but stayed together and had my grandmother.
What was she thinking and how did they meet!!!
