    Hi,

    I'll post details in the relevant forum sections, so just to introduce myself.

    My family have all been military, with the exception of my generation onwards. I was looking at a career in the military and joined the TA, but my life took a different direction.

    Now that family members of the older generation have passed, or are no longer able to help, I've been looking in to some of the more interesting stories from when I was young.

    So, my research is starting with Grandma, who was a civilian internee. She worked as a governess in France, was captured and sent to Besancon followed by Vittel. From there she escaped and flew back from Portugal.

    Looking for any help, knowledge advice how to discover more.
