this is my great grandad on my mum's side and all that remains of him is this and one photo of him prior to going over to france that my dad has had restored.
all i know of him is that he was an irish catholic.
we are coming up to samhain, a time when we remember our ancestors and i hope when i celebrate his and others lives he will be with me and maybe even give me some insight into my ancestors
More about these words (and the poems where I found them) at my newsletter:

Lee, I lost my Dad four years ago this year, just a few days after Samhain. this is a poignant time of year for me too, not a day goes by without me thinking about him. At Samhain I too pay respects to all those who have gone ahead, and i'll light a candle for them all.
have you thought of trying to find out more about your great grandad?
