Tick gave me the idea to upload this picture of my Great Grandad Lewis. He was born in 1892 and died in 1956. He served in the first world war.I am in the process of discovering his war records as I have documents that show he spent some time recovering in a hospital in India. Cunhalla Hill Hospital and I am curious why. He also fought in the 1919 Afghan war.

Thank you for looking, and thank you Tick for the idea Ticks post

Thanks Jo for the nice words. It is a great photo and you are to be proud of your heritage. I bet he never thought his photo would be viewed by people all over the world. What a nice posthumous tribute you have given him.

I swear he is the spitting image of Hoagy Carmichael.

Here is a tribute for your great granddad Jo.

Congrats for what you're doing for your Grandad. You must be proud of such brave man. I appreciate that there are persons which keep the story of their family live. It's something too often forget by people.
My regards.
