I met William years ago through tour guiding, and I was there at the launch back in May 2015.
William was completely passionate about all of this, as he was explaining, since he was young.
And he's gone to great lengths to create this collection.
And as Dermot said earlier, a loss of something like this, of this private museum, is a loss of a classroom experience.
It's a loss of a community asset, a tourism attraction and a place where young people could literally reach out and touch history or get in the trenches.
And as Dermot said, once collections like this are dispersed, they are almost impossible to recreate.
