One of my great uncles served in WWI. I wrote a short blog post about him: https://cherryelsewhere.wordpress.com/2013/10/31/a-family-history-tragedy/ I think you would find it interesting to research your grandfathers regiment it might even lead you to learning more about your grandfather.

I always wish I had talked to my grandfather more about his WW1 experiences but he was never keen to talk about them. In fact, I was thinking recently (having attended quite a few World War One exhibitions) that I might do some research into his regiment.

I also know people who fled to England to keep their families safe from conflict in their own country. It is interesting to hear their stories. I have enjoyed reading the comments too :-)

I've found the comments to this post almost as interesting as the post itself. I never knew my great grandparents but so much of what I know about them is framed by their time during WWI, just like on my mum's side it is from being refugees. That comment has really made me think now! What a wonderful man he must have been. I’ve found the comments to this post almost as interesting as the post itself.
