Hi David, Thanks for the useful information on finding my way round, as you can guess I am no chicken and need all the help I can get. I will try to keep my Diary up to date with a child and teenagers view of the war. It was my formative years and the most exciting, sometimes frightening, often saddest time of my life. The whole period including the couple of years after the war is seared into my brain so there are many vivid memories stored up in there.
regards Frank.

I'm glad that I could be of some help Frank. Thank you once again for your involvement in the site. It's the vividness of the stories such as your own that highlight how important the idea behind this site is, to draw a real picture of the experiences, emotions and events people felt and saw during the war. I look forward to reading more of your stories in the future.

Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or problems about the site.

Kind regards

David - WW2 Team

Thank you for the message, could I ask why my stories in the editorial desk always say remove, is there a specific reason.

Hi Frank

The reason you can see 'remove' is because it gives you the option to remove your story from the editorial desk if you wish to made amendments etc, it's not an indication your story is going to be removed, I can assure you!

I hope this answers your question, but if you have anymore problems feel free to contact me.

Best wishes

David - WW2 Team

Thanks David but can you tell me why each of my story's has remove in the comments, is there something wrong.
Frank Mee.

Frank.
