My Great Grandfather

This is my Great Grandfather,

Gwen is my grandma. William Howard James Busbridge was poisoned by mustard gas in WW1 and there is a VERY famous photo of him in the forefront. He was identified by my grandma Gwendoline and my great Aunt Joyce in this famous photo.

The war memorial do not take this as evidence but have added this to their supposed notes.

I am truly sorry BUT two girls DO know who their father is and did identify him at the forefront of this picture.

This picture proudly hangs above my bar always

Peter
