just to say hi and introduce myself
« on: January 06, 2012, 08:15:49 PM »
Hi,
Just wanted to introduce myself before making any post for either enquiries or possibly any help I might be able to contribute.
After having read with interest some of the threads, I have to say that I am very impressed with the knowledge and help that is available on this site. Well Done.
I'll probably have more questions than answers, but perhaps some of the images and documentation I have may benifit someone at sometime.
I will be enquiring about my grandfdather and father, both of the same name as myself Thomas Pickering, and both of the Manchester regiment.

Thanks in anticipation to all who may contribute to my postings on the site.
Tom
