I hope I am not breaking any rules but could I suggest to anyone looking for something to read that there is a great and at times very funny story written by a present day german officer about his grandfather's chest. The story appears in the classic thread of The Great War forum and is under the title of " This is the secret of of my grand dad's trunk " It will take a couple of hours to read. John
Definitely more than a couple of hours .... and make sure you have a box of tissues handy ( even the macho types needed them !! :cry_smile: ) Thanks John for the reminder ... I used to wait every night for the next installment - funny how that one thread seemed to bring a lot of nationalities and different opinions together !! Annie
I think if he ever decided to make a book out of it - it would become a best seller. I glad others have seen it and enjoyed the story.
Well that kept me quiet for an hour or two!!!! Thanks it was well worth the time. What a wonderful tribute to his Grandad.
