hrebing Posted 4 December , 2005 Share Posted 4 December , 2005 My great grandfather William Walker Madden Royal Scots carried this little booklet with him during the war and after he was wounded in hospital......a few are from women. I don't now if he was a ladies man at age 16 when he joined .......some of the writings are quite funny......I thought you might enjoy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marina Posted 4 December , 2005 Share Posted 4 December , 2005 Don't know, Hebring. I thought you meant you had a website. Not sure about a public album or how that works. Marina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ypres1418 Posted 4 December , 2005 Share Posted 4 December , 2005 Hrebing I have just looked at your Great Grandfathers book, thanks for posting the pictures, some very moving thougths and some very funny ones too. I hope they kept him well whilst in the trenches. Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
