I love this photograph of my paternal grandfather, Private James Richard Brown of the 2nd Royal Guernsey Light Infantry, who was discharged from the army on May 6, 1919, after losing one lung and damaging the other. The photograph was given to me by my late father, Harry Brown, who, as you can see, inherited the strong nose and determination of his ancestors.
My father had three daughters of his own (no sons, although he longed for an heir) and guess who
inherited the nose....?
Well, you can't have everything. Let's just hope I inherited the determination as well.
