My grandfather in WW1



Kind of grainy photo but this is my grandfather and grandmother(myMother's parents) taken during WW1.
He was a pretty gruff kind of a guy. He was in the British cavalry
but was recalled because he was needed for his apprenticeship
in saddlemaking of all things. He had a saddlemaking shop in Stalham, UK. He liked his good times and lived across from a pub and a bakery.
During WW2 a German bomber could not find its target so on the way back to Germany it dropped its bombs on the bakery across the road killing all the bakery staff but my grandparents were spared and were okay.
