In this thread I want to provide a forum for those that have lost a relative to have them remembered.
I think it is appropriate in civfanatics because we do have a general sense of community and this is the "home" for many of us on the internet...I for one spend more time here than anywhere else on the net.
As a few of you will remember I lost my grandfather some months back...what I post today is the leaflet which my Uncle Charles (ex-Royal Navy) produced as a short summary of his life to give to people present at the funeral mass.
Having read his war record it sums up him as a person: in essence his war record statement was...
"A quiet man, well respected by the soldiers and conducts himself well"...he didn't expect alot out of life, but brought out of the worst area of Glasgow 4 girls and a son that have become very successful and affluent and from which a large and prosperous family have grown.
I hope people respect this thread and do not spam etc...
