Home on leave

My grandfather, grandmother and aunt May. Taken in 1918; my grandmother was always overwhelmed by life, not unsurprisingly, as her husband had spent 5 of their 6 years of marriage fighting, in the Somme, Ypres and other places where so many sons, boyfriends and husbands died or were maimed. I never knew my grandmother, but my grandfather was the salt of the earth; so much wisdom, so much wit and humour. The Kitchener moustache was all the rage, soup strainer type.
He did indeed, and still remained the quiet cheerful man, ever ready with wit, wisdom and humour. He lasted until 1955.
