See, I know I'm one of the younger in this fred . The stuff that's just come out there......I would like to know what's gone on in my family, and I know nowt 
I started a few years ago went on Genes reunited etc but no time these days
My dad actually wasn't bitter at all .....he always wanted to go back to Japan....he just said they were soldiers like him ....and what they did was just the way it was ....
My granddad was in the trenches...... I think h lied about his age to be honest, I don't think he was actually old enough to sign up 
If I remember rightly ......it's been a few years since I looked at it....the train backed over him and he was decapitated
It was her leg...I think loss of blood and shock, she lived for a few hours. they carried her home and she deteriorated that night 
aww today she would have survived
I know a lot of veterans don't like to talk about/hide what happened. Do you think this was the case?
yes - its wasn't like today -stiff upper lip and all that and TBH refreshing compared to everybody social networking these days
My granddad was stiff upper lip, wouldn't talk about it..but made him a bitter old man 
My dad actually wasn't bitter at all .....he always wanted to go back to Japan....he just said they were soldiers like him ....and what they did was just the way it was ....
Following orders?
He just said their culture was very different to ours ....

my granddad was in the Somme in the trenches -survived-he went to war at 16 years of age but that was pretty common I think and prob legal -imagine that today

I think it must have been so different in those days, they wanted to fight for their country
aww today she would have survived
yes, train backed over her leg when she fell I think, I will look it up in my file
sad tale - wonder why she was going for coal

I think it must have been so different in those days, they wanted to fight for their country
yes -not sure that was right though
I don't know how any of them did it ....and came out of it sane
I didn't know they worked the trenches on rota..like a week on/week off, don't know how it worked exactly. they would need those breaks otherwise they wouldn't have been sane Baz
aww today she would have survived
yes, train backed over her leg when she fell I think, I will look it up in my file
sad tale - wonder why she was going for coal
they said she was...but the family always denied it as there was no need. it was common practice to take a short cut to get to the shore Ros, I have done the same walk many times when I was young myself and never thought about the coal wagons rolling in.
Right , on that note I am off to try and chill before bed Nite nite , sleep tight Dame , Ros and Pam 
You must've read my mind I'm off too. Night all
