Too right Loomex.  I vaguely remember my Grandfather, he died when I was 5, was born in 1899 and fought from 1915 through to the end.  He lied about his age to join the "West Kent Mounted Yeomanry" when he was sixteen and was transferred to the 6th Battalion, 3rd Regiment of Foot, "The Buffs".

Not bad. My great great uncle joined up as a private at the very beginning. He lived through the somme and most of the other nasty battles. Managed to survive a gassing, resisted promotion the whole way through and came out the other side unharmed. Infact he enjoyed the whole show. Tongue
