Building up to 80th anniversary of VEDay on May 8th, 1945. My other grandad, Edgar Kelway, served on the artillery guns in Plymouth & Bristol during the Blitz in 1941. He lost a leg when the gun backfired. He was a keen musician and passed away in the 1960s. A family hero.
Building up to VE Day celebrations a look back to Grandad Harold Cox who fought on the Western Front in the Great War, and also on the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940. He helped rebuild the bombed city of Plymouth after WW2. His picture brought to life from the early 1960s.
