Wander project what my father thought was Misc! (10/11)

1. I agree. It is such a shame more people did not chronicle their times. I author books regarding the Royal Navy, but not in a (very) academic way. My books reflect the ‘common man’, who would otherwise be forgotten. The books record ‘Social History’, not the military or political one.
   Recently, with the remembrance of the wars, d-day and such, the media has proved the stories of the ‘ordinary’ man are for more than valuable for historians and social learning than ever imagined previously, they far from ordinary. I think your Wander project has much of the same value; unknown until recognised as a far more accurate account of life than any academic paper could hope to portray.

2. Looks wonderful, Scott. They are legacy images to be cherished. Just think of your grandchildren showing their grandchildren what ‘the old place’ looked like ‘back then’. At least nowadays we can a trace of our being.

   • Thanks Paul, that’s why we started the project. my only regret now is we don’t have the stories of some of the creators.
