I remember.

This is my grandfather.
He was a Private with the British Army during WWI.
His job was to pick up the dead and dying in the battle fields of France.
I'm not sure how old he was in these photos but I'm guessing he was in his early 20's.



Here he is with my grandmother just before he headed of to France.
Newlyweds.


He lived with us in his later years and would often tell me about his time with the Army during WWI.
His stories were about pain, anguish, fear but mostly about death. The ultimate sacrifice.
Even though I was young when I heard the stories, to this day I remember.
