Still Waters Posted January 31, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Relatives of more than 40,000 people who passed through Folkestone on their way to war in France between 1915 and 1919 can now search for their names. Eight visitors books were kept at the Harbour Canteen and signed by some of the soldiers, nurses and others who passed through. http://www.bbc.co.uk...d-kent-25947649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ealdwita Posted January 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I shall have to check that out. I believe my great uncle's name may be in that ledger. He was a Major in the Royal East Kent Regiment (The Buffs), and was sent to France in June 1915. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
