me and my dad went to Nottingham to see Alburt Balls statue. My dad took loads of pictures he's CRAZY about things like that. I wish they would knock the statue down and put Robbin Hood up instead.

My Dear Missy,
Being a ten-year-old girl, I think you are old enough to understand the difference between fact and fiction. If you will heed the kind suggestion to research this remarkable young man, I think you will form an admiration for this brave Englishman who died for Britain in the hopes that generations that follow will be able to live free and enjoy the liberties that he and countless others offered with their lives. Don't let it be all for naught. Good Luck.

What??? Knock down MY statue and put up one to a fictional character???

Puhlease!

Makes me all the more glad I am dead. When people can't tell the difference between a REAL person, such as myself or my old friend, Billy Bishop, and fictional people such as Robin Hood, well, hopefully you will learn the error of your ways!!

VBR,

I typed this and the other message through a person who's body I "borrowed". That's HOW!!

And so what if my statues have been up for years. How else are people supposed to learn about me if they don't have statues to prod their curiousity?

Albert Ball, VC.
