Paul, I'm back after checking out your link, it made fascinating reading. How strange you should mention the bayonet - we have just sold my dad's! It used to be on the wall at my grandmother's house, then my mother kept it under the bed for protection  ;D ;D after she was widowed in 1972. Now we're downsizing we're having to clear a lot of stuff, sadly.

Their special song was "You are my sunshine". They both sang it a lot when we were growing up.

Now I definitely want those war records to fill in all the gaps!

Good luck with your project, it's a wonderful idea.
