I was wondering if your offer still stands. My grandfather William Sidney Nye worked on the barges on the Thames and was on one of the boats that went over to Dunkirk. I wonder if you could look up any information on him for me. He was born in 1880 in Battersea. I will be forever grateful for your help. Thanks Maria |
