I have just finished writing a booklet entitled 'Laura's Story'.
It's an attempt to explain the facts of my grandparents' life, to work out how a hymn-singing upright woman came to take another man into her home during World War 1, and why my grandfather went to war right at the beginning of things when he was too old really to need to do so. The facts were gathered, and much interpretation and imagination applied. Did I get at the truth? I guess I'll never know. The moral being: ask all the questions you can before your Aged Persons pop their clogs.
