@sciencebase Nice tache. We have a tea cup with a guard for such a one, was my grandfather's, who came back from Ypres unscathed.
@sciencebase Yes, all his brothers were gassed and felt the effects till after I was born.
@SteelFolk Sheesh. Terrible.
I had a Great Uncle who was a PoW in Burma. But, I'm assuming that my other ancestors were keyworkers, miners, and so were not sent to war...
@sciencebase Yes, my lot were weavers making cloth for the uniforms for the rest to get shot in, but some volunteered anyway. Sad, really.
@SteelFolk he was very lucky
