The Great War.

4 Items

Ik ben Pascal Van de Velde, de kleinzoon van een vuurkruiser uit de eerste wereldoorlog. Ik heb mijn grootvader heel goed gekend. Mijn grootvader Martin De Cock heeft in mijn jeugd heel veel verhalen verteld van de gruwel van de oorlog. Als kind heb ik ook een enkele keer onze gesprekken opgenomen op een cassetje. Later heb ik dit kunnen digitaliseren op CD. Ik bezit foto’s van deze CD alsook een kader met foto’s. Op één van de foto's staat mijn grootvader in kostuum; in het midden is een afbeelding van een vijf frank stuk. Dit had hij van zijn ouders meegekregen. Vijf jaar later had hij dit vijf frank stuk nog altijd in zijn bezit. Op de foto bemerkt men ook zijn identiteitskaart van oudstrijder en in het midden onderaan is zijn speldje van vuurkruisers samen met nog een andere lidkaart. Hij heeft ook in zijn latere leven 6 eretekens gekregen; hiervan bezit ik er twee, de andere zijn in het bezit van mijn neven.

The Diplock family and the Great War; from south London to the Somme | and the mystery of John

6 Items

In the interview attached here, Kathleen Betts and family shine some light on her cousin John Diplock - a teenaged soldier who died before Kathleen was born. Mystery may have been created by the family's reluctance to divulge details about John; but the digital age has proved powerful in uncovering his elusive story. Conversely, Kathleen tells the stories of her father David's war, who relayed his experiences more openly during his lifetime.Contributed via Age Exchange (http://www.age-exchange.org.uk) as part of the Children of the Great War project (http://www.childrenofthegreatwar.org.uk) at a collection day at the Greenwich and Bexley Community Hospice, Kent, UK.
