GRANDFATHER BERTRAM WITH HIS WIFE AND FAMILY.
THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN WHEN BERTRAM WAS ON COMPASSIONATE LEAVE WITH HIS INJURY. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY THE SCAR CAN BE SEEN ON BERTRAM'S NECK WHERE THE SHRAPNEL INJURY OCCURRED. BEING SENT BACK TO THE HORRENDOUS CONDITIONS THEY SUFFERED BEGGARS BELIEF, ALSO LEAVING A WIFE AND SIX CHILDREN WHO HE NEVER SET EYES ON AGAIN. VERY SAD. A MUCH TREASURED PHOTO.
