Re: Somme Anniversary
Thank you Hammer, I hadn't realised the date either. Jim, I'm sorry you lost your Grandad, a terrible time indeed. My Grandad was at Ypres and lucky to come back home with a piece of shrapnel in his leg. As the oldest grandchild I asked him a couple of times about the Great War but not once, ever, did he speak of it. I realise now that he wasn't able to, the memories must have been too horrific in those trenches. All I've been told is that he married my Nan quickly before he went and was very young, as most of them were.Re: Somme Anniversary
