I was five years old when my maternal great grandfather Gerrard - TopicsExpress



          

I was five years old when my maternal great grandfather Gerrard died. I loved him and remember him, I was born in his house. We were the lucky ones - he came home after the Great War. Yesterday George surprised me by taking the day off on our anniversary so we could see the poppies in London and pay our respects. Today I had the pleasure of attending our 5 year old granddaughters WW2 tea dance. She wore my Nans (one of my great grandads daughters) green chiffon scarf around her curlers - as a land army girl. We should never forget the sacrifices made for us and all future generations.
