Twenty year old George Ford, fighting in World War I for the Sherwood Foresters, was killed in action in 1918. His personal belongings were packed in a box and sent to his family in Nottingham, England. Among those belongings was a small Bible which Ford kept in his breast pocket. In 1977, while doing some repair work on a house in Nottingham, a builder discovered the Bible, and found that it had been gathering dust in the attic for 59 years. After a 35 year search by the builder's son, the Bible was returned to George Ford's nephews in Arnold, Nottinghampshire.
