Remembering Family from World War I

Remembering family lost during World War I


It is Anzac Day very soon so it is time to remember those we lost during World War I.  Archie Studd died on the Ist of July 1916 at the Battle of Gommencourt,  Felix Alexander died on the 16th September 1916 in the Somme neither of them fought for the Anzacs  Archie was in the London Scottish and Felix in the Royal Norfolks.  They were my Great Uncles.

I have made a special paper cutout of red poppies in remembrance but first here they are.Archie is on the left and Felix on the right, my father was named for Felix.  My father fought in World War II, he went to France with the expeditionary force in 1940 and was evacuated from Dunkirk
