I wish I could find the records of my great uncle, who was killed in France, September 1918.
The fire in St. Louis in 1973 destroyed a huge percentage of the records of the first world war.......

Medals and records have such meaning for families. I have no idea what happened to my Dad’s two Purple Hearts and some other medals. Very sad too because his grandchildren would have simply treasured them and passed them down the line.

The Canadians have great resources for WW1, thanks Clive, I am still looking for a pic of my mothers father in kilts, Canadian Black Watch, the rangy, bone thin, Northern Irish look.
