Here he is, seated, with his brother Percy. Both men survived the war, in a regiment that suffered 80%+ casualties. My grandfather was wounded twice.

I have my grandfather's collection of medals, which is currently in the shop getting framed. Here's a pic of his service revolver, which resides in my gunsafe and takes an occasional trip to the range...

Doc;
Thanks for the reply sir.

The fact that you've got the medals and his service revolver is beyond cool.

Like I said to Don who has the under sheriff's revolver, those type of tangible links to our past - especially as gun folk - are priceless. cool

Thanks again and have a good one Doc.
