This is how my grandfather looked before he went to war (WWI). He came back with gaunt cheeks and hollowed eyes and never quite overcame the stomach ailments he returned with.
His name written on the back, probably by his mother or father. This post was inspired by Bruce Goodman’s wonderful story over on Weave A Web. Check it out (but have your hankies on hand).
Saying Nothing in Particular 
What a family you have, Jan. Photos and all. I like getting to know them, little by little.
And thanks for sending us to Bruce Goodman’s touching post. Well worth the read and hearing.
Thank you!
Thanks for the link. And thanks for sharing the photo of your grandfather.
My pleasure!
A lovely tribute on Veterans Day….
Thank you!
Today we attended a Remembrance Day ceremony. All I could think about was how young the soldiers were when they went to war.
Thankyou for sharing his, it appalls me that we have learned nothing.
