Today I remember my great aunt- husband killed WW1, son killed WW2 (Tobruk),a sweet old lady who always had a lot of time for me.
School friends resting off the Falklands. The attitude of my nephews' headmaster when looking at his WW2 project- two photos, two great grandfathers in uniform
one home guard, one volksturm. To the Boys and Girls who stand on the firing step with their heads above the parapet, in harms way so we can live our lives as we choose- THANK YOU!!! |

Many records have simply been disposed of by our current government as not being worth the cost of keeping them. Literally binned, because of the costs. |

William Pascal Mattes. Pat as he was called by those who knew him most of his life, my grandfather. Born 1898 died 1976 the year I joined the Army, my greatest influence. He served in Europe as an infantry man in 1918 to 1919. I still owe him. He only talked about it once when I came back from basic training. It was more about the food then combat but it was the only time anyone remembers him talking about the war. VR
