Michael Palin was fortunate to have a relative who was a sort of historian for the family. She was the one who told him about how his great-grandparents met and gave him all the documents relating to his great-uncle Harry. His remains had no grave- he was just a name on a memorial of thousands who were “known Only to God”. But he brought his story back to life.
Dearest Lily, a lovely Thursday morning greetings from me, it's 9:55am here, will be starting work soon. Thank you for the be story, it's a pleasure listening to you. I now have a little knowledge of the Palin. Love and hugs from me, and I wish you a pleasant night 🙏💖🤗
@@LilyGazoualmost 40% of the male population of Australia at the time served in ww1. many that returned home alive passed away from health complications in years following the war. 400 thousand men. over 700 thousand served in ww2.
Interesting stuff. I need to do a telling of my paternal grandmother’s life. Kansas girl goes to Santa Fe. And I started writing my life story a couple of years ago. I pick at it every now and again; leaving bread crumbs of stories of the good, the bad and the ugly - it’s a file on my computer that my son will find when I’m gone.
@@SusansRoadLessTraveled you should just print it out , then add notes all over it. There is a great short read called No one Wants to Read Your Sh*t. It’s actually very helpful and he includes how to work on a family story like that.

@@teresaNaningFrancisco yes. Part 1 and 2 are about unknown people. I only found Harry Palin because I watched the movie he made about his great-grandparents. When I googled that, I found and read the book about his great uncle , a man he had never heard of. It struck me that his memory was lost to his own family. I’ve been to a lot of funerals for soldiers in the last 20 years- men known to few, I would even say their deaths are ignored. I shot video of some of these funerals to save it for historians. If the same entities start a third world war, I’ll be part of the underground that stops conscription.
Hello ....I have Ancestry bugging me about new 2 nd & 3rd cousins....I don't know how we are supposed to do everything there is to discover in this one life😂😂😂😂
@@krosskountrykaspar I was wondering the same. I’m surprised Michael Palin couldn’t use DNA to find his relatives from his great-grandmother’s family. But perhaps they didn’t survive the hunger years.

@@LilyGazou Perhaps
You would think men would learn from history.
I think with these new ways to communicate with each other, apart from politicians , we can avert the next disaster.
