Dawn E. Amos Noel Truth

Annotation

Who was Noel Joseph Amos?As a child I was told he was an orphan, born on Christmas day, and given a pile of photographs, that was it!This was all I knew about my grandfather, who I never had the opportunity to meet.Who were his family, who adopted him, where did he live?The journey of his life has taken me from the suburbs of Manchester, to the prairies and wild west of Cochrane, Alberta, Canada, and back to my home town of Alfreton, Derbyshire.His return to the UK saw his enlistment into the Army during WWII and his involvement in the Civil Defence Corps and The Royal British Legion.This tells of my relentless efforts to find the answers to the missing pieces of the puzzle.
