Lots of good information. Thank you for including the Weaste Cemetery Heritage Trail website link. It is only a temporary site as we hope to produce a more professional website in 2009. I'm in the process of up-dating the current temporary site. The Heritage Trail booklet is now available. This would normally cost £1, but if your readers want a free copy, please send a large stamped addressed envelope to me at 16, Blinco Road, Urmston, Manchester, M41 9NF. Thanks PK

I am a senior member of The Rotary Club of Barkingside in the London District of Rotary.It is our intention to make an award to a gentleman who served throughout WW2 in 7th Infantry. His activities during military service and subsequently in the field of community service and charity endeavours have prompted us to present him with the highest award in the gift of Rotary International. His name is Donald Taylor a Londoner born in 1921. I would very much like to contact someone in any Desert Rats Association with a view to inviting them to the presentation which is to take place 0n 28th January 2009.

I have not been able to identify such an Association and I wonder whether you could point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

She was a very strong minded and admirable woman who went on to have seven children, two of whom she outlived. I always wondered about her young life and if it shaped her character.

I am extremely happy to sign in your Guest Book. Really the Article " Children in the 1800's " moved me to uncontrollable tears. It moves hearts a thousand times more powerful than a so-called Christian Preacher's Message on Love . Through your Web Site you are inviting the whole humanity towards a totally Peaceful World where every one will get every thing for his/her happy and serene life as a human being. I have dedicated my whole life for the Welfare of humanity irrespective of colour, religion, region or any other linguistic differences.

As I am an ardent lover of children, your Article made me just mourn for the poor, helpless, orphanated street children including the chimney sweeps of the 1800's. It is so terrible to know that the 50% of the poor children just died of various illness. The Capital Punishment of the wrong-doing children also is something heart-renting to read.

Your Website is a very great Warning for the whole world to change all its gun-powder in to milk-powder for the starving children .

Thank you so much ..!

A relative always said he was a desert rat but he never mentioned it and having read your site I am convinced he was not. All I have are a few delicate records and one is stamped "2 Pipeline Op. & Main Unit", his company and service number from 1940 to 1946

We came across your website during my 10 year old son's research for information about Desert Rats during the war. My great uncle (his great, great uncle) was, indeed, a desert rat. Sadly he passed away 8 years ago and is still missed by all his family. he was a true gentleman and such a lovely, lively character. We found the information on your site truly fascinating. My son is now even more in awe 'of what great uncle Albert did in the war!'

What an excellent description of the victorian Servants. I really enjoyed it so much so that I have bookmarked it for easy reference. I am mad on genealogy and finding my family, but more than that I have manged to have this passion for the way they lived and how every thing was. I live in a small coastal town in Australia, although I was born in Poole, Dorset. Most of my research comes from the internet and our local History society.

Alf always had a wooden plate/dish which was given him by a man from Lubeck called Artur Stegemann and the plate has a brass plaque which reads I will always be thankfull to you from Artur Stegemann and we his family are very keen to know what Alf did for this man, and that is why I and other Members are looking into the REME in Lubeck Germany
