About Me
I am 42 years old and married with an 18 year old son. Researching these men and building this website is done in my "free" time as I have a full time job as an Officer with one of the NHS Ambulance Services. I do not live in Addlestone but I grew up and went to school there. I am a member of the War Memorials Trust, The Last Post Association in Ieper (Ypres) Belgium & often attend meetings of the Surrey branch of the Western Front Association. I am also active on The Great War Forum. This website costs just under £100 per year to maintain and my research costs are about treble this amount again but I do not ask for donations, if you wish to donate, I would rather you gave your money to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal where it is needed more.
Copyright
As I understand it, copyright law in regard to photographs and intelectual property remains with the photographer/author and then passes to their estate for 75 years after their death. Where I have used modern photographs taken by other people there appears a credit to them at the bottom of the page. In the case of old photographs where the photographer is unknown to me and the picture is already available in the pubic domain then no picture credit will appear. All modern photographs without a photographer's credit at the bottom of the page were taken by me. Right clicking for the downloading of pictures or text from this site has been disabled. Should you wish a copy of any of the pictures please email me and I will gladly supply you with a copy.
