Hi Dan-San
Since my cardiologist was presumably talking about me having survived the heart attacks (when I was 46) rather than his surgery (when I was 47) I take it to mean I'll make it to 92 - I'd prefer 94, since that would put me on a par (age-wise) with the oldest known member of my family. If that's the case, only 38 years to go!
Until I chanced upon a reference to Cross and Cockade (GB) in my local library (and later found the Forum while I was at home recovering from my triple bypass) I thought I was alone in my WW1 interest. In fact, my family, by and large, were of the opinion that I was wasting my time since "nobody else cared."
From that point on, my interest in claims widened to incorporate casualties, awards and latterly biographies - hence the problem in getting everything laid out to my satisfaction. It just seems that every time I feel Ive got things sorted out, I come across another question that requires investigation, cross-referencing etc. It all seems to be never-ending! Still, with 38 years to go, there's time for everything to gel
