Victor i can see that some people may find it difficult to understand. I however am the grand daughter of one of the unfound ones all my grandmother recieved was a telegram "Missing presumed dead" from the September 1914 till her own death may 1960) she kept a light in the window every night in the forlorn hope that he had been injured and lost his memory and that some day he would remember and find his way home.

Even after all these years i would love for him to be found, to be able to honour him and to vindicate her trust and love for all those lonely years."

This is one of the most beautiful posts I have ever read on Mudcat. I need some Kleenex.
