My great grandfathers were soldiers in World War Two. After hearing some of the stories, I developed an avid interest in history.
Franklin's maps and the subsequent search for his last expedition, provided the information needed to expand into this area.
The First World War was an arduous task for women as well as the troops overseas, and women helped in the ways they were allowed.
I love hearing stories about my grand parents and their relatives who have played a role in the history I learn about today in my class.
In past months, headlines filled with news about the discovery of Franklin's voyage. I thought it would be fun to explore the full story.
I enjoy funny stories that appear within hard times that show us how people in the past coped in the face of adversity.
