The BBC news web site has an interesting article at the moment about "Thankful Villages" . This is the term which has been given to villages where all the service men and women who were in combat returned alive. A very few are doubly thankful in that servicemen and women from both WWI and WWII returned alive from the conflicts. From the map on the site drawn from current understanding , not one Norfolk village was untouched. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15671943 Rosie
