Remembrance Sunday held more significance for me this year because I have taken the trouble to learn about my grandfathers' involvement in the first world war (both in the army) and my father and father in law's involvement in the second world war (Royal Navy and Merchant Navy respectively). None of them are alive now, and none of them particularly wanted to tell their story, but I have recorded their stories, as much as I know, so that in future my children and their children will learn what I have learnt.
