I've ditched a personal visit to Kew to find Grandad's service records. I can ask a researcher to find it for me, and if I'm lucky, and he's quick- may cost me just 15 pounds. Less then a trip would cost, even given that I'm going to the UK anyway.
Also plan to order Uncle Reggie's Inquest report from Kent Archives.Sure I've got the newspaper report( linked in the sidebar) -but I need to tackle the question I have been avoiding up to now-was my family protecting their crops or were they out for trouble?
I don't think so- but then I wouldn't? would I?
I have only the vaguest memories of Grandad in early childhood-the family blamed him for these events,I think.-(interesting that Aylesham-ers remember Misery farm as a place where a father accidentally shot his son)
I have got to like grandad, his comments seem dignified here and he is not tempted to use Reggie's death to inflame the situation . We'll see.
