Keepsakes from My Great grandfather William Henry McNamara senior, who was a respected journalist. One keepsake was an invitation from 12 Downing Street inviting him to dine with the Prime Minister and His Majesty’s Ministers on Tuesday 9th December 1913. Which he accepted and then asked the ministers to sign the menu on the day, all seventeen Ministers. The signatures included D. Lloyd George and Winston Churchill.
My Great grandfather had stuck the menu onto a red padded folder, this was another keepsake. This dinner took place just months before World War 1 broke out in 1914.
In 1914 my Grandfather William Edward McNamara (son of William Edward senior) was enlisted into World War 1 in which he gained, along with other medals, the Military Cross for bravery laying cables whilst being under heavy fire, enabling communication and messages to get through from the battle field. These were also put in the auction.
When World War 11 broke out my Grandfather was posted in India. My father William Henry McNamara junior was also enlisted into World War 11 and stationed in Egypt where he was given an engraved cigarette case that had been made by a prisoner of war; this too went into the auction. My mother has shared some of the funds from the above with my sister and me. Which I am grateful for and although I honour the ‘life’ pathways of my ‘fore fathers’ I myself am more of a Warrior of Peace and therefore felt that the innocent victims of war, War Refugees, should be given a donation from the above relics of war put into that auction. If only seems fair!
I also have a strong passion to pass on ‘How to Care for Info’ as well as being a Messenger for Peace and a Personal Growth and Self Awareness facilitator.
