Dot - tried to tie up our family tree by searching for a great, great uncle who died during the war. I hardly know anything about him, except that he was an officer and he's buried at the Morchies Cemetery, near Calais. Seem unable to find his birth cert. or anything. Someone suggested trying the people at the war graves commission, but all I got was a list of similar names - who are buried all over the place, from Israel to Egypt. These aren't the right person, anyway. Seem stumped now.
Yes Louisa - I bet your brother was gutted. Thought my own prob was a cracked knee, after a fall. Maybe it contributes to the condition, but I don't want to keep taking pain killers.
