debris4spikeJust ready for going to Chapel this morning -
The top poppy is the typical Royal British Legion one, the lower poppy was given to me by Tim after his summer holiday as he bought it on the Somme - they went there for the 95th anniversay of July 1st 1916 ... our Grandfather went over the top on that day.
Granddad was a member of The Northamptonshire Regiment ... and he bought the silver broach for his mother when he went to the front in 1914. A close friend of mine, who died 15 years ago bought the other one for his wife when he went to the front in 1939.
