Jeremy:

Sorry I forgot to tell you about the possible individuals you could highlight.

Blayney Scott: Was a well know rower, boxer,and swimmer before the war. Enlisted with the CMR and transferred to the RFC. He was awarded two medals, one for carryign messages across no man's land, and one for climbing out on the wing of his plane to plug the hole in his gas tank. I have quite a bit of information on him including letters and photos.

Gertrude Scott: Sister of Blayney Scott. Was a member of the Sugar Plums, who made candy and socks to send to soldiers. She worked as a teacher at the James Island School for most of the war. She was also a nurse during the Spanish Flu epidemic.

I have some information about a Victorian who was a POW in Germany for almost 4 years. He worked in the mines, for most of that time. Some of the most interesting information is more anecdotal from his family, so I'm not sure if it would be suitable, but he is a unique case!

Have a good weekend!
