Check out this blog!!!!

I was watching the news tonight and they had a little comment on a blog that is written by the grandson of a english WWI soldier. Basically they are all his letters that he sent home. The grandson does not tell us the fate of his grandfather as we have to live his life through the letters to find out his fate.
He started the blog in 2006 and explains a bit of background info first...then what he does is post on the same day as the letter was written 90yrs in the past (first letter is Feb 7th 1917 so he posted it on February 7th 2007). It is actually quite riveting..highly recommended.
You will have to go to archive and read it all backwards..but it is really interesting.

I can't wait to tell my bro-in law about this. He is a huge ww1 and 2 enthusiast..I think thats the right word for it. How did you come across it in the first place?
