There was a programme on the BBC a few years back, and an accompanying book ('Not Forgotten' by Neil Oliver) that looked at names on war memorials. There was one where 4 brothers had all served and all died in the war - their name was Souls. I'm not sure if it was official or not, but the...

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/history/exclusive-the-unseen-photographs-that-throw-new-light-on-the-first-world-war-1688443.html A collection of glass plate negatives, taken by a French amateur photographer, found in a barn after 90 years give a unique insight into life near the...

Some interesting articles: The Thankful Villages there are a handful of places in the UK where everyone who went to WW1 came back, they're known as the Thankful Villages. There are even some of these where all those who went to serve in WW2 also returned, they are the Doubly Thankful Villages...

Like Totoro and usetawuz said, I wouldn’t disregard it just yet. Keep it as an open or working case, in the background. There is a lot in the dream that sounds quite specific, like the name and the location. OK, so you knew the location before, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a useful point of...

Well, I’ve been thinking about this all day and this is what I’ve come up with: From the life of Anna, two of the memories involve anger in some form. Possibly that anger was some kind of carry-over or outward expression of the guilt and resentment felt in the life prior to it. Maybe her...

Thanks Briar, still working on changing those patterns, but I'm (almost!) getting the hang of it! Have made a few changes to the way I work, so maybe the 'run' instinct will be a little less now. Putting the pieces together has made a change, sometimes it really does help to see the bigger...

A lot of things have gone belly up at work recently (choices were made, people were angered), and its got me thinking about the continuity of lives. I had thought that as Anna I was seeking freedom and the open road, an escape from the boring life of my family. But, after looking at my current...

Hi Whippoorwill :) Those are some amazing memories you’ve uncovered! Maybe this one keeps coming back to you because, like you said, it was important to you that you delivered the message, but you didn’t manage to. Now you’ve seen how it finished you might be able to remember what happened...

I'm not sure if this is relevant to your brooch or not, but at least in the 15th-16th Century, many clans thought that special, rock-crystal studded brooches were special and powerful objects. They were passed down within a clan and held in great esteem, for example the Glenlyon Brooch.

Nottinghamshire is a county in the East Midlands. Nottingham is the county town (ie, the main commercial and law-centre for the county). Its one of the more historic counties of England.

Can’t remember if I’ve posted this elsewhere, but it seems relevant to your question. All my life I always felt guilty about everything, not just things you should feel guilty about, I mean everything. Just living sometimes made me feel guilty. It was very overpowering sometimes, especially when...

Greetings from another Great War 'veteran'. Don’t worry if you think you’re going crazy, or making it all up. The connections you feel to such specific places and times are good indicators of a past life there. Sometimes the more emotional or traumatic lives are the ones that speak to us most...

Its time-period gaps like that which are indications for me of a 'missing' life, a life which is there but hasn't yet surfaced as memories, dreams or indications. If you had a life starting in the early 1890s, you would have been just the right age to get mixed up in the War, either as a...

Don't forget the Germans sank the Lusitania, that was one of the major incidents for bringing America into the War. The Germans were also running out of men too, many of their soliers new to the front near the end of the War were pensioners. But the Allies weren't much better off, many new...

There was a Royal Flying Corp station in Shropshire: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Shawbury Of course, Shropshire could have been the county you were from, it's a county on the border with Wales.

Welcome to the forum Phthalo :) Good questions. I can't help much with the first, but I'm somewhat familiar with industrial history so I will have a think and see if anything comes up. As for the second, for me the difference between a PL and non-PL time period interest is the level of...

Thank you for the positive responses everyone. This has been a strange and emotional time for me since that dream, it helps that everyone has been so kind and encouraging. I have sent my friend an email, I mentioned the dream but nothing PL. Knowing him it could be a quite a wait for a reply...

Great idea Chris, thank you. I'll try something along those lines and see how it goes :)

Thank you for the replies everyone, it really means a lot :) ChrisR: Yes, I still have his email address. Have been meaning to get back in contact for a while, maybe this is the Universe giving me a helpful shove? ;) I'll see what I can write to him, might mention the dream but not sure how...

I’ll admit, I haven’t been giving the life of Anna as much attention as maybe I should; as my most recent life she probably has a bigger influence on my current life than I give her credit for. Instead I’ve been focussing a lot on my Great War life, no doubt driven on by the approaching...
