Good Afternoon

Thank you Wessex Wyvern.

I am interested in everything about the Green Howard's and the parts my grand father had in any of their conflicts.
I was once asked who was my hero and with out hesitating i said granddad.

 

Welcome to the team vanessa. :S! I hope we can steer you in the right direction!

 

Thanks Peppy.
Just got home from a hard night at work so chilling out so to speak before going to the land of nod!!LOL!!
I have a feeling i am going to learn a hell of a lot about my grandfathers time in the Green Howard's through this site.
I have been so impressed so far i recommended it to my mothers cousin and he has registered here yesterday so i will be looking out for cousin Dennis Leech.
