Someone who started the same way with a story from a family friend. Cara Black from California Has written a series of books about a Parisienne private detective.

Maybe it was just the sense of adventure that drove the 'boys'? I understand that no one ever let on to the families on the home front how the troops were just more dead meat for the arms manufacturers. So they were twice betrayed. <br />Such tragedy.

There were about l0 soldiers (Astles) that served in WWI from New Carlisle. I checked Ancestry.ca and Herman Astles and his brother John Bertram were from New Carlisle. OMG it's a small world. There is a copy of Herman's medical exam and altestation paper. Your story makes me think of my Grandparents. I remember my grandparents were very spiritual, Anglicans. My Grandfather was a tinsmith and he raised turkeys. My Grandmother always wore an apron, she baked a lot and I loved her huge molasses cookies. They were born in the late 1800's and were in their 80's when they passed away. Although my Grandfather did not serve in the war. <br />You have a great story and I wish you luck with it. If I can be of help let me know.

Because the most beautiful things in life are not seen but felt only by heart. ~ Denzel Washington<br />:)))) I thought you would appreciate this. <br />thank you for sharing your heart, art and your dreams. ~ Christina<br />Lastly... a quote... one of my favs.. from Marianne Williamson: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
