George and Lucy along with
the Mirfin Newman family are excited
this week to see their great Grandad Melville Mirfin be commemorated in a series of stamps that contains images of World War 1.
On the 5th August it will have been 100 years since the beginning
of the war. Bank clerk Melville signed
up in the first week and managed survive the action from one end of the war to
the other. The series of stamps depict the war through the eyes of normal
families.

Lucy is very lucky because if Melville didn't survive, she wouldn't exist. And I am lucky for her to be my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
