Lucky guy!
but seriously, how does one imbue the general viewer with the sense that one feels on the discovery of such tit-bits of information. There must be so much more to many of these family stories. Unfortunately it seems so much of it is obliterated from history. I look upon it as a challenge to substantiate hear-say. Apparently my GF walked from Crook to Slough (?) after Jarrow Marches. Fact, or another lie? Possibly common at that time? I have 'met' second cousin online who tells me that GF's younger brother walked to Oxford from same area.
Edit
NooshieW, Have you obtained your step grandfather's army record ?
I got my father's RAF record but it was quite thin on all but basic detail. His RAF Flying Logbook was of far greater practical use.
Another question I would like to know the answer to is why 'PHOTOGRAPHIC DUTIES ONLY' is stamped on Ramsay Marsh's RAF Record.
