Real quality recountal Chris 👏 My great grandfather suffered a Mustard Gas attack in ww1 - he barely survived it.\ He came back home afterwards and within a few weeks of arriving at his home in Pontypridd ,he died from complications arising from his poisoning. These brave men went through so so much and in many cases paid the ultimate price to win for us the freedoms we enjoy today You do a great job of bringing all this alive so I’ll be looking out for the next one in the series 👍 👏 Thank you so much 👍 Very best wishes to you and yours 👍 Jonathan

Thank you as always and the next one will be up on the 15th as that marks the British Legion centenary. Thanks for sharing that harrowing story about your great grandfather too; there were so many boys that dies in 1919/20 from the wounds inflicted in war its awful. All the best to you too.
By all accounts he was the last officer in the Lipsett family.
