Found a great little site today: World War One Photos. Photographs & Pictures of The First World War
As well as photos (including things such as obituaries), it is also a source for poetry, art, postcards, music & songs and propaganda posters.
Soldiers are searchable by regiment, and some items can be purchased.
Give it a look!
Thanks to Roots Television for the suggested Google Scholar search engine (give it a go at http://scholar.google.co.uk), I am finding more sources which reaffirm the link between Sir Robert Baldock and the BACON family.
Now if only I can find a link back to Sir Robert …. I am hoping that I may get some clues from the Norfolk FHS at WDYTYALive show at the end of the month!
Last night I got back into looking through my resources for the village I grew up in, St. Nicholas-At-Wade, and starting hunting down family members.
After a lot of digesting (which is still going on!), I am now finding names appearing in my tree which I recognise from growing up in the village!
Included amongst these is the unfortunate story of a mother and her 11-year-old daughter who died at Sarre in 1940 during a World War II air raid.
Families we knew, talked to and played with at school are now appearing as (distant) relatives.
It all brings more tangible meaning to the phrase ‘It’s a small world’ ….
