I love the second picture.

SP, could you post small bios of your grandad, and great uncle?

Spidge posted some great pictures of his father on this thread:

Uncle Ted, great pic isn't it. He looks mad as a Hatter.

I will ask dad on Wednesday to help with small bios.
I will add grandad Swift here, even though we have no photo of him in uniform
And my great grandfathers nephew.


And then the WW1 Chaps.
I hope I don't get told off, as it's a WW2 forum.

The WW1 Chaps..........
I am affraid I don't know who these chaps are in the first photo, and which one I am related too.

great grandfather Andrew Munn R.e

Cecil Henry Petts died at Gallipoli (great grandad Petts nephew)

Great grandad Fredk Cecil petts (both pic's at the end)
He survived the war, but was gassed, and damaged.

My mum's grandfather James Cannon, was shot in the arm on The Somme, and had his left arm amputated.
Her other grandad didn't get to fight in the great war as he lost his right arm in the print, he was a Compositor.

There's quite a resemblance to Trevor Howard, David - especially the chin and eyes.
