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.

We did a few years back and visited the graves of all our relatives in Northern France one half term when I was at school.
And if you're really getting into the war thing, may I suggest reading some of the war poets like Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen?
These are a couple of my favourites:

www.warpoetry.co.uk/owen1.html
There is a great collection of War Poetry called Men Who March Away as well which is really well put together! Well worth checking out if your local library has a copy.
