What'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 wish I had my Grandad's medals but my uncle has them.
My grandad was posted to parachute into Arnhem where nearly everyone was shot from the sky, but the day before they left, on the final training exercise, his pararchute didnt open properly and he broke his back so he couldnt go. Pretty lucky really, otherwise I wouldnt be here :)
Sadly though, his brother was drafted in in his place and died.
