They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Steve, I see that you have had relatives in many campaigns, I myself know of relatives that have fought in various campaigns including the Crimean war, the Sudan, the AZW, WW1, WW2, fortunately most did survive. We had a relative that also fought at Jutland, his son also joined the Royal Navy and fought during WW2. My grandad fought in the mud and blood of the trenches of WW1, my father fought in the Normandy landings, one of my uncles fought in the desert, another was in the RAF, and my Mother and Aunt both worked in munitions (ROF). My grandad was refused joining up again for WW2 (too old), however, he did have a part to play in the home guard, and my grandmother was ever so proud of him, she used to say "He won't be told will he, you just can't keep him out of a good scrap", very funny to hear her say things like that.
Big respect to you and your family Steve.

I guess we all have similar histories. Your post prompts me to include another of mine. James, Army Works Corps, buried in the Black Sea 1855 on the way home from the Crimea age 28.
