  • I do not know any details about Gilbert Pulsford but recently I found a book at Eastbourne Library which states that he was a hero in WW1. I am so very proud of that.

    My father, Noel William Pulsford, died before I was born after serving in WW2, and so I have always wanted to know about my Dad and family, but my Mum could never talk about the wars as her memories hurt her so much, of which her heart ache has passed onto me.
