Had a problem over my mother-in -laws fathers medals, they covered India,NW Frontier, Sudan(Khartoom medal), South Africa, (one of the native wars, Boer War. They were taken to Australia by my M-I-L'S sister, (an alcoholic), and sold to pay for booze.As I served my time in HM Services and my son is in the army it would have been nice to add all the medals together, and that would have included my Father-in-law who served in the Navy at Jutland in ww1. None of the Sisters family have ever served in the forces anywhere or any country. Sad aint it????? Len |

Hi Lesley, I'd speak to your local museum about preserving the diary, they are bound to know some way of doing it, but just in case, I would copy it out yourself by hand or computor, a long job, but at least if it fades future generations will be able to read it! Good luck! And Karen, if I were you I'd go the legal route after all he is a Brother in Law and you were a full blood daughter! Go for it and teach the runt a lesson in fair play! |
