OK .... I admit it ... yes I am an eBay junkie. I enjoy looking at militaria bits and pieces ...and yes buy a few things to use in my teaching. Recently I bought this old photo of a WW1 SA digger. After detective work and research I did manage to identify him. So today's post is a list of useful starting points if you need to research a family member or 'find' (like my little treasures).
