My great grandfather was born in 1861, I think.

My great grandfather was born/baptized in County Down in 1835..

My grandfather was not married until he returned from South Africa so he was already older when his 15 children were growing up..

My mother was born in 1912, in the middle..

When WWII started and 6 of my grandfather’s 7 sons enlisted to fight he said he would wait until they all came back..

The 5 who fought the Japanese in the Pacific all came home but the favorite son in Europe died in Italy in Dec 1944..

Granddad died a couple of years later..
