Update to Grandad

I wrote in my recent post about looking up my grandad's World War 1 records. I thought his record was unobtainable, being one of the 'Burnt documents" damaged in the Second World War, but I have been able to find them! Very lucky, since about 60% of the war records were destroyed. The remaining records have been digitised through a project  sponsored by the British National Archives and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and are available on Ancestry.com. Fortunately, I can get access to Ancestry free of charge via my library and was able to look at the records on line and print them too. The most interesting thing was a letter written by a Miss Alice V. Bensley to the regimental secretary, asking for information on the whereabouts of Gunner A., who had not been heard of from some months. Now, I have no idea who this woman was. Not any known relation of the family, or known by me, anyway. Was she a sweetheart that Grandad had jilted? Or just someone who was sweet on him, but he was not sweet on  her? She wrote from an address in Fakenham, Norfolk. How would she have met my grandad, who was a working-class Londoner? It's unlikely he would have travelled to Norfolk for work, but who knows. Perhaps she was in London, perhaps in service there? Mysteries, mysteries, but intriguing nevertheless.
