Introduction

This blog is designed as a commentary on the centenary of the Great War. I intend to post comments on events as they happened, 100 years ago, along with stories based on family members who participated in the conflict. I also plan to include references to the area where I grew up (Frimley Green and Mytchett), my old school in Farnham, and other areas I know, since these will give an impression of the impact the war had on local communities.
