David John's Story

Nearly forgotten

The picture came back following the death of a great great uncle in Canada. Dai died when my grandad was very young and the family never spoke of him. Research found that we think he was a member of the Teritorial Force and only went to France/ Flanders for a couple of weeks before he died 28th May 1918.
