    I am posting concerning a website we have recently setup in honour of my father Richard Charles Gray who passed away in 2017

    My father was a great believer in researching and respecting fallen heroes of past wars.

    He dedicated a lot of his time to researching and ensuring those lost souls really got the respect they deserved and most importantly were never forgotten.

    A couple of weeks ago we took his ashes to Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre and had the privilege of being able to scatter them behind a Lancaster Bomber from WW2 / Dambusters era whilst it had the engines on full thrust – quite an experience.

    Over the past few weeks I have been working through all the research he had done on war veterans (2668 documents and 6311 photos) and compiling them into a website so that none of his work went to waste, so please anyone you know who has an interest in war history etc please pass on the link below.

    Thanks!

    Welcome

    You and Donna have done yeoman work. The site is well done. Research can be addicting, so it's nice to see that research continuing.
