My grandfather also served in France in WW1
He was a very kind, decent and honourable man.
And also very brave, though he would have been very modest about that.
(A reminder that for all life's years and experiences, there are one or two main events that people remember us for - for good or ill.)
I've often thought how he survived going out into no-man's-land. Perhaps the Germans respected his courage and fired wide on purpose ...
It is our deeds, the accumulated acts of goodness and kindness that define us and ultimately are the true measure of our worth. Service is the coin of the spirit.http://holy-lance.blogspot.com
