    My great great grandpa survived the war. I have his discharge letter. He was injured and went blind in one eye and was honourably discharged. 

    My great great great grandpa survived

    I think that my great 5 grandpa survived world war 1 I can’t find any records which say that he died I searched archives and war records but I can’t find anything.

    Yh it’s an 8 it means 8th army he was a desert rat in ww2. I don’t know much about the war though but has been keeping me busy researching family 



    Me and dad going to put them in a frame with all the pics we have of them at war

    @Aidan lol as long as he was happy😆🍻 

    WW1 medals were all named around the rim. For some reason they didn’t put names on medals in WW2 but if ever you wanted them back in the family you could search for them using his name and just buy them back. It may be tricky to track them down though and might cost a few squid. A war expert told me that when we found out that one of our WW1 medals were missing. 

    I have some pics of my great grandpa in WW2 hes the one with the moustache and usually had a pipe hanging out his mouth lol
