It is with continuing great regret that although I knew one of my grandfathers in childhood, I never got to be able to ask him of his experiences when also serving in the RN and being on HMS Lion at the Battle of Jutland. My RN father also belatedly regretted never asking him about the same experiences and the general ones of serving in the Service at that time.
My Other grandad I never knew as he was killed by a Luftwaffe bomb on 12th September 1940 when a
Junkers 88 dropped it's load on Tunbridge Wells whilst being chased by RAF fighters, who eventually brought the aircraft down killing all the crew.
Thank God though I had my Great Aunt Kit who gave me a lot of family history covering the late 19th and well into the 20th century.
Ancestry is so important to us historians, and I believe many other folk, but all of us fail to find out family history before it is all too late and dies with our relatives.
Gald Rod you found out what you wanted to know. A great result!
