John whifflebottom Posted 17 April , 2023 Share Posted 17 April , 2023 Hi Guys, I am looking to help share light on some amazing untold WW stories. If anyone is interested I would love to try and make 1 new video a month and share new ideas with like minded people. I will pay for the full production as its my passion to share things all war related. I mainly focus on untold stories to help share light on some of our forgotten heroes. Please drop me a message below with your story ideas that you would want me to turn into a small mini doc. Usually around 7-10 mins. To give you an idea of the most recent one we did you can see here. This is not for financial gain but simply a passion of mine since my great grandad was lost in the war. Please share this around the groups as I would love to talk to people about any stories they would like me create. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 18 April , 2023 Admin Share Posted 18 April , 2023 Do your videos have any relevance to the Great War? Your two viewable videos are not Great War related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John whifflebottom Posted 18 April , 2023 Author Share Posted 18 April , 2023 Dear Michelle, I appreciate your message regarding the relevance of my videos to the Great War. While my two viewable videos may not be directly related to the Great War, I am certainly capable of providing insightful information and stories pertaining to that era. My mission when finding this group is to connect with like minded passionate people who wish to share there stories and allow me to bring these to small visuals and share to others. Since joining this group I have already had a message from a lovely man called called Gunner who we are now exchanging ideas with. My channel is new so I want to share some insights on the great war next. Thank you. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteStarLine Posted 18 April , 2023 Share Posted 18 April , 2023 John, sounds most interesting and thanks for letting us know your ideas. One of the poignant stories on this forum is that of Ned Parfett. His photograph has been seen by millions over the years as the young newsboy showing the billboard with news of the Titanic sinking. Six years later he himself was killed not long before Armistice, collecting clothes to return home on leave. His descendant is still active on this forum and could be approached to see if he is interested assisting. Good luck, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John whifflebottom Posted 18 April , 2023 Author Share Posted 18 April , 2023 Dear Bill, Your ideas sound most intriguing, and we appreciate you sharing them with us. We are particularly moved by the touching story of Ned Parfett Kia. I am going to look into this and see if we can bring this to production for a small mini doc. I would love to help more awareness on this subject. This makes me very excited, If we can share this post around the forum and the majority are happy for this to be our first production I can then start my research. Thank you so much!
