There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hi Ted,
Nice find, I wonder how much of our history is thrown away like this? A good friend of mine was helping his wifes family clean out the house of there recently deceased father, Tim was looking through some plastic garbage bags of stuff that had been placed on the front verge ready for the garbage collection the next day.
In one of the bags in a carboard box he found his father-inlaws military service records and his campaign medals, including one for the seige of Trobruk. the whole lot had been placed inadvertantly in the rubbish becuase the box wasnt checked properly.
As like the letters in your link if it hadnt been for a lucky find this information and memorabelia would have been lost forever.
I look forward to reading the rest of the letters as they post them on their site.
regards Rob.

No doubt. Excellent find shredder! I've got the site bookmarked and look forward to reading actual accounts instead of after the fact ones.
