    • Anyone know where Groundhog went...I always found the stuff he put up about WW1 really interesting.

      And he gave me some help and tips re tracking down a soldier Great-Uncle who disappeared after WW2.

      I pm'd him some time ago to let him know I had tracked the (now deceased) mysterious uncle down...but never heard back from him.
