Hello once again. Purely on a whim I checked in again to see if you had any further information on your Grandpa’s war service. I really would love to chat with you about his family connections - I recognised the ‘Wren’ in his middle name. I have no idea how to go about organising a personal phone call or meeting but I do hope we can arrange it.

Hi Rosalinda

Just another post in an attempt to get in touch with you. I gave up checking some time ago but will keep monitoring now that I have seen your reply.

Hi Rosalinda

Just another post in an attempt to get in touch with you. I gave up checking some time ago but will keep monitoring now that I have seen your reply.

Hello!  ;D Thanks so much for checking in, and I'm sorry it's taken so long to respond!

Frustratingly we've found nothing more recently about Granddad's war service, so we're still puzzling what that mysterious box on the boat was, or what his encounter with the Gestapo was about.  ???

I'd love to speak privately about him, although sadly as he died when I was 10, I only really know him from other people's recollections and what I've dug up since. My mum would probably love to share memories of him and Bill though! Perhaps we could organise an email discussion, and later maybe a call if there's a lot to talk about? Let me know what you think.  I'll have a chat with Mum about it tomorrow.

Thanks again SO much for getting in touch. These days we so rarely meet anyone who knew Grandad's side of the family.  8)

Oh I would love to have a chat either by email or by phone - how do we go about fixing a private meeting?

I’m very new to this game and have no idea how to send a personal or private message  so I will just have to wait till Rosalinda contacts me
