Oh how interesting. Will this be the first Royal Mail stamp dedicated to the MN? If so, it's about time I'd say!
And Lou, I echo the sentiments of others... your stories are absolutely essential to the idea of "lest we forget". I can't imagine the folks at Royal Mail not being interested in hearing from you. Go for it!
Cheers,
