A native of St Albans and life-long resident in the city, Helen Little found that becoming involved in the King’s Road project has indulged two of her great loves: St Albans and genealogical research. One of Helen’s great-grandfathers had been killed on the Somme, not knowing that he’d left a daughter.
Consequently, Helen is keen that the men of King’s Road who died in the Great War are not forgotten. She believes that their stories should be told so that their memories can live on in the lives of their sons, daughters, nephews, nieces and wider family, along with those who are now connected, by residence, with their home city and street.
