Dad, what did you do in the war?

Thanks to Pat Ainger for her talk about what some of her family did in World War 1 and 2.  Pat is a former history teacher who had researched the lives of her grandfather in World War 1 and her husband's father in World War 2 .  Her talk was based on her personal family research with the group.  A very interesting and emotional talk.  Many thanks.
