And on his way home to see his family too! His family must have been devastated. I can just imagine them waiting at home in anxious anticipation to welcome him only to learn the news of his death.

I bet you spent ages poring over the details in this. That's so sad to die in an accident after surviving the war. It reminds me of my own great uncle who survived and then died of Spanish flu whilst waiting to be demobbed in 1919.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-70622202269716044352012-10-14T00:48:25.244-07:002012-10-14T00:48:25.244-07:00Those pictures are so clear that many of these man...Those pictures are so clear that many of these man may still be recognized by their (great) grandchildren.

After all that bravery, it's just a shame. I can't believe what a treasure you have, and yes you could just loan it out from time to time in various museums. It's just the kind of thing that tour groups, children field trips and the everyday historian likes to see in real life, and not just in a book. Amazing, and I too use zip-lock bags for lots of things. Some of my old albums survived better with nothing than those plastic covered sticky sheeted albums I had far too many of. Sadly for my photos! You managed to send us off in another sepia wonderland, thanks!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-21862728590844793392012-10-13T14:17:18.950-07:002012-10-13T14:17:18.950-07:00That is a prize-winning group of men in uniform!
