  • Sorrow and Solace

    Sorrow and Solace

    Like many people my Grandad David had experienced tragedy in his life. He served in World War 1 and lost his first wife when she was aged only 25. His own mother had died when he was just 22. He was only married for 5 years and was left widowed with a four year old…
