These are the stories of two ordinary soldiers who served in the Great War. The stories started with their family collections of keepsakes and were reconstructed from regimental war diaries and information sources readily available through the Internet. Perhaps you have a similar Famly Hero? Author Andy Volans works in the Health Service in Scarborough and became interested in the Great War from stories about his Grandfathers whom he never met. He is still trying to find their stories and is grateful to Herbert and Charles for revealing theirs.
