Mine changes in November, it's normally something to do with my grandfather's regiment from WW1.

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.
