That side of the family was fairly well off back then. Had a string of pubs and then ran charabanc’s and were in scrap.
I can only go by what the old folks in the family tell me. I wasn’t around at the time 
My kids thought is was very cool as he looks rather like a certain Ragnar Lothrok of Vikings fame!
I have Norwegian ancestry and am married to a Swede so strong Scandi ties.
The actor playing Lothrok is Austrailian of course, so no connections there.
Here’s one of my Grandfather in Egypt togs, WW1. He signed up underage at 17 after 3 earlier tries, but was told he was too young before that. He lied about his age of course.

He took a Brownie box camera with him. I’ve got an album full of Egypt stuff, Pyramids, locals, captured German plane, bridge blowing etc etc. he annotated it quite well. Like so many others, he’d never talk about it… Had he gone to France, I doubt I’d be here!

Again with Auntie Stuart, shoplifting 101 - Diversionary tactics and a general moral warping of boundaries activated here
Schooled in Somalia - the craft of piracy - Plundering was for the most part enjoyable but sub-par sea legs led to prolonged periods of ‘faking malaria’ and a general allergy to bilge pumps
