Do you know specifically what motivated her to send out the requests for stories in the first place?

Hi Adam,
My Auntie had so many of her family in the services AND was in them herself, probably just wanting to keep memories alive and get as much documented before it was too late.
I have a friend who is now 80 years old and the stories he tells of his life, not specifically about the war but mainly local ( to Liverpool ) are superb, he has such a memory. Sadly these will be lost when he is gone, I'm trying to think of a way to record his life, maybe by video. He was after all, Leader of Liverpool City Council ( no, not Derek hatton ! ) and has so much to tell, politics, the way people lived, local factories that have sadly gone etc.

I will scan and post more, very soon.
