Yes WW1 remembrances very personal as for both my husband and I our grandfathers were killed. Brian has been giving WW1 talks this year to schools and 6 adult clubs. His exhibition of old photos and family souvenirs of medals, letters and postcards plus modern film of the trenches and commonwealth war graves were fascinating for all!
