William Alfred Gregory, WW1 , C.O.

William Alfred Gregory, WW1 , C.O.
My grandfather in WW1. He was a Conscientious Objector but served on the ambulance crew at Gallipoli and also in Egypt with the Red Cross. He rarely ever talked about his war experiences to his family. He lost two brothers in the war, within weeks of each other.
This has been an absolutely amazing few weeks for me for family connections. (4/10) This wonderful portrait was sent to me from a relative in England who found me through a photograph in my Gregory Set.

Not only have I never seen this photo of my Grandad before but my mother has never seen it (she never saw any picture of him from the War.)
Alix - my fourth cousin - kindly sent me others,(equally amazing) - that I will post shortly.
This in addition to connecting with close (unknown) relatives on my Dad's side - with previously unseen photos - and finding out info about my husband's family.

Arlequin Photographie, , Chaotica have particularly liked this photo
