To find a forgotten diary from either my Grandfather or his brother.

Alternatively can I ask for someone clearing out the basement of the National Archives to find that the other two thirds of the WW1 records weren't actually burnt at all, but have been laying in a long forgoitten corner for the last 60 odd years!

Nice answer David

[Roger Thompson]

To find a copy of the "History of the 7th(S) Battalion Pioneers, York and Lancaster Regiment", to help me understand where my granddad was from 1915-1918, as he died 18 months before I was born. My dad never talked about him and in my youth and innocence I never asked, mores the pity.

Cheers Roger.
