i was just thinking, i know for sure 2 of my great grandfather's served in WWI. we have photo's of one in his uniform, and my gran says her father served too, the 2 great grandfathers having that in common and would discuss it together at the pub.
mum says that they would have pensions from the army, and while i don't know their regiments, and have looked for their records, assuming they were destroyed in WWII. but surely they would have to prove they were in the army if they had pensions. i know i could never learn much more maybe than their regiments numbers, but would some sort of government agency have pension records?
haha oops.....forgot to say they were english and fought for england!
