Thread Name: Xmas in the Trenches Survivor Dies
Subject: RE: Xmas in the Trenches Survivor Dies
My father's brother Ernest died at Paschendaele 31st October 1917 aged 23. We always remember him on November 11th. My own sons are in their 20s so it hits home how many of their age range died in the two world wars.

Recently I leant the local studies archive 3 albums of photos of the 4th Bat KSLI to photograph. Im looking forward to seeing the results and having a copy of the digital photos on CD.

I watched the programme where the old soldier met one of the German soldiers, who was French from Alsace I think.
