My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

I can't believe......that this hasn't had any replies.
Half of my family were German 'traitors' from Dusseldorf, Celle and Frankfurt who helped airmen, soldiers, Jews, intellectuals and other 'undesirables' get out of danger into Spain or Russia.
There are certain modern 'liberals' who don't like to acknowledge the courage displayed during those days. There are even those who suggest that medals earned in war are obscenities. But anyone who resisted the tyranny of the Occupation has my vote and your continued respect of your grandfather has my respect in turn.
I'll, er, get off my high horse now. This just tweaked a nerve.
