Lynn Cuthbert, BBC Learning Project Manager, NE
This is a really moving story, thank you for sharing it, Karen. You are right - many more stories are being created now around the Iraq war... When I heard 'Another Way' I thought of a new BBC website called WW2 Peoples War (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/ww2/) - on the site you can share your family or personal stories from WW2 and they will be there for posterity - lest we forget. From October onwards you should also be able to scan in photographs so we could see the poem that your Grandfather sent. All good wishes, Lynn
