There are many photos of lost loved ones in families, Steve, and it still continues today. I don't think we'll ever have peace in our time.
Cheers, amelia

How sad, Amelia. My family had luck with the times, my grandfather , born 1902 , was too young for WW1 and too old for WW2 and my father, born 1927 August just became 18 after the end of the war. A good thing to have these photos. Hugs,Dany

My father was one year older than your grandfather, Dany, and so avoided being called up during the second World War, but I know he volunteered. I have lots of old family photos, but there are not many of me. No-one seemed to have a camera during the war and in the aftermath.
Hugs, Amelia

There is a sadness here, Nick. I never knew my Uncle William. I think he have grown up to look like my Father.

A very poignant photo, Amelia. Glad you posted it. I have been touched too by the family experiences related by you and others. It is what Remembrance Sunday is all about.

I hesitated about posting it, Andy, but in the end I decided that this week would be a good time. maybe I'll take some of the more personal info out now.
