Great War Forum story.

As the Great War Forum was mentioned in this threadhttp://www.planetfigure.com/threads/wwi-british-uniform-color-and-mix.48753/#post-488591 I think some of you might be interested in this little story,

I still find it hard to believe Private Frank Lockey's memorial plaque etc. are on the way home after all this time

Also a bit of a coincidence Stuart releasing a Northumberland Fusiliers figure the same week!

I had the same thing happen to me on GWF. If you recall my earlier string at http://www.planetfigure.com/threads...from-the-somme-july-1-1916.46435/#post-471764

The gent who bought my great uncle's plaque in 2009 got in touch and provided me with pictures of it. I also secured ROFR when he decides to part with it. Not yet but one day.

Thanks to the internet I now have my Uncle's last letter and I have a line on his plaque.
