Topics will be; Lost Treasures of the Great War, where all will be invited to bring an interesting item or two and explain how these artifacts tell the story of the Great War. Norm will bring in half a dozen items. And; Michel Gravel will tell the story of George McKean, VC, MC, MM, and his actions on September 2nd, 1918 when he single-handedly broke through the D-Q Line.

Solving the mystery of Rudyard Kipling’s son
The Jack Kipling identification has been getting a lot of coverage lately. It appears that after only 24 years, the doubters have conceded that the original report from 1992 was, in fact, correct. For those who don’t know, I wrote that report when Record Officer of the CWGC in Maidenhead, England. For YOUR EYES ONLY the report is in this email. It’s odd but I am not mentioned in any of these articles, and no one bothered to contact me (very odd). My feelings are very hurt. If you have any questions please contact me.
