My Great Grandfather
1 Item
Our only family photograph of a young man now 17 years my junior lost, like many others, in the build up to the Somme Offensive, September 1916. The photo is of one of my heroes and reminds me of how strong a woman my Grandma (his youngest daughter) was. She grew up without a father and lost her husband in 1939. A different breed. much admired, much loved and very much missed. RIP || Front
