The Commonwealth Family History Research was on hand to guide visitors about their military ancestors at the recent open day, and to hear stories from families about the wartime heroism of their great grandparents who survived WW1 having been in the trenches from 1914 till 1918, through to fathers and grandfathers who survived the WW2 nightmares of Burma campaign and Arctic convoys in WW2, to the postwar Suez campaign and even the Falklands and Iraq war.
