Hello,

I have just discovered that my grandfather, Robert James Oates is part of a display at the Manx museum and that he wrote to the paper about his experiences in the Great War. I wondered if anyone knows what paper he might have written to, so that I can try and track down a copy and read the letter that he wrote. I have also just discovered that his photo appears on a stamp too, for the 90th anniversary of WW1.
I am keen to trace my family history and if anyone can help or may even be related to me, I'd love to hear from you.
My father was Joseph Edwin Oates and I believe his mother was Emily May Cunningham.

Thank you for reading this,

Helen
