    This is my grandad, there is one photo were he is wearing his First World War uniform, and one were he his suited and booted.
    I always think about these young soldiers, what they went through on both sides, it must have been a absolutely horrendous experience.
    He was wounded twice and gassed, he lived with his injuries for the rest of his life.

      Thanks you Sean, PatSea, walksoftly and antiquerose for your comments. I can only vaguely remember my Grandad, apparently has a toddler I lost all of his First World War medals by putting them down a concrete path, not good. I know where they are to this day but first it's not our house anymore plus we would have to tear up the path.

      Cool very nice , the group photo is also nice.
    10. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 9 years ago
      Yes, they look very smart. Their mothers or their wives laundered their clothes! It ment status in their society.
    11. Takeyourtime Takeyourtime, 9 years ago
      Yes I agree , looking apart does have a nice ring to it.

      Your Grandfather was evidently a true soldier to the core. It's great that these photos have survived and can be passed on down to the next generation along with his story.

      Many thanks jscotto, I can't remember him very well, I was only 5 when he died, the photos are the only thing I have of him. It's only when you get older you realise you want to know more about the generations that have passed, I know I do.
