We will remember them : Dale’s Granddad, Granny and
Grand Uncle (text & image)
This is my granddad and his name is Rex. He parachuted from planes
during the war. This picture was taken along at the Fendom beside
Tain.
This is Granny front row second left with her friends during the
war. They worked in a factory making bombs. She said that the red
dust she worked with was in your hair and it wouldn’t come
out for a while. My granny has a bad chest because of the dust she
used to work with and she said that it was terrible where she worked.
This is my grannies brother Jim, with his friends from the war.
He was on the R9 in Malta.
This is the R9 in Malta. It was a very famous ship in the war.
HMS Childers was a C class destroyer and used to escort food convoys
into Malta. It was a very dangerous job.
