I just changed my Avatar for Veterans Day (November 11). That is me in 1967.

Good Morning, All!
Thanks for participating in this thread. I'm enjoying it and hope you are too. Just a suggestion, if you add the image of your avatar to the post like GAW9576 it will provide good context if you change your avatar in the future.
Hope all is well!

The DLI. (Durham Light Infantry)
He went over the top a few times, fought on the Somme and the Ypres salient including Passchendaele and Hill 60.
A Military Medal winner Gazetted in 1916 for action during the Battle of Morval.
A true hero of mine who made it back. His service medical record show he was evacuated on the hospital ship Asturius in Sept 1916 - Gun shot wound to the head. He was 41 years old.
His medal card shows he was also a pioneer in the Labour corp. We think he went back over with the pioneers once healed.
Sadly he died just before I was born.

I know this is an old post. I became fascinated by the turn of the last century, and this story of your grandfather is amazing. I cannot imagine the courage it took to go over the top a second time, after seeing what happened the first time. It is like a the D-Day invasion, over and over and over.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Mine is a picture I took that I like, A cake of Williams with a short wood handle lather catcher. I also have the same picture on one of my Williams mugs.

Mine is the Ever-Ready guy, but you know that already. I put him up after buying my first ER lather catcher.
