Unfortunately, I do not have any photos. After mum died, my dad stayed on in the house for a while but eventually moved to Wales. Everything in the house was packed up and taken with him and I was moving around a lot with Phil (my husband) because he was in the army so wasn't really there. However, I do remember coming across some postcards from Jim to Mabel from France during the war. I also remember that my grandad had great difficulty in breathing and mum told me that he only had one lung because he had been gassed. He had a funny looking pump which he would use when he couldn't get his breath, probably the equivalent of an inhaler today. Mind you, he still smoked like a chimney!! I am 99% certain that he was not buried in Kent. I seem to remember that his funeral was in Wales and it is more likely that he would have been cremated. Although I cannot say for sure, it may be that mum brought his ashes back to Kent and put them with my nan's. She was cremated at Medway crematorium.
I’ve got a few photos I wouldn’t mind sharing if you gave me your email address, also mum & dad tell me they went to your wedding. Would you have any pics of them on the day? My email address
