My grandfather was a volunteer foot soldier not an ACE.
He left behind a wife and kids after being shot a week after arriving at Suvla bay in 1915.
My mum never knew him, and like many before she grew up in poverty. No heros in our family.
Grandpa lives on in vague and distant memories. No need to dig him up.
For what?
