As it happens, the Memorial is currently endeavouring to track down the descendants of a particular couple whose wedding was captured on film by your uncle. The film footage is likely to be shown as part of our upcoming exhibition, Love and War, opening later this year. Thank you for your comments, Pauline.

He has filmed several weddings which obviously took place where his battallion was based. I have digitised copies of this footage and the originals rest in the AWM archives. How wonderful it would be for the descendents of these brides and grooms to see the footage of their forbears.

Thank you for putting this together. As a service member curretly deployed in Baghdad, Iraq it certainly struck a chord with me. There's a lot to be said for a 'Ministry of Love'.
