Our Dad was in the RAF and flew planes in WW11 but, he never really spoke about it. I just cannot imagine what they all went through and how young they all were. It is so sad that o many perished.<br />....and, as you say, this is why we all keep blogging !<br />Hope that you, MOTH, your knees, the family and that gorgeous little grand-daughter of yours are all well and, mustn't forget Lulu !!

I've had a similar experience researching my Great Grandfather's life recently... through ancestry.com I made contact with distant family members in England... It filled in a lot of blanks about his life. Have just written a post about his War experience actually. So many sad experiences for families everywhere from the Wars that still have reverberations in later generations. xxHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-8681960646688570822013-04-25T10:36:16.045+09:302013-04-25T10:36:16.045+09:30Wow Millie, That is an incredibly poignant story. ...Wow Millie, That is an incredibly poignant story.

I too have met members of my family I never knew existed through a couple of posts I did on tracing my family history. My story is not as heartrending as yours but again it shows the power of the blogging world.. So glad you got to share your memories and meet a new friend. We all need to remember what those brave boys and girls did for us.WinnibriggsHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373512408459789941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-48781618879870017412013-04-25T09:08:51.218+09:302013-04-25T09:08:51.218+09:30Hi Millie,
