i think the last couple of sentences says a lot. as can be seen a lot on boards WW1 there is a lot of people out there finding out about family members who served in WW1 or WW2 etc and they want to find out more,which is of course a good thing. good link JD.

"William was a member of a generation of Irish men and women whose lives took different paths throughout a critical period of our history. Like William Behan for so long, many of the voices of that generation lie hidden in dusty attics or unopened boxes, still waiting to be heard"
