I failed to find any evidence of my Grandfather's involvement in the Great War until I looked at the newspapers on Findmypast for one of his brothers who was awarded the MM....The article mentioned that my Great Grandmother had fours sons fighting in the war including my Grandfather....and mentioned where they were.... And one who was being held in Saltau POW camp in Germany. Luckily...they all came home.
