Today since Monday is veterans day lets see pictures you might have of CW veterans graves, those who survived the war. If you have a photo of the veteran post it and if it is of them in later years all the better. Just time to reflect on their lives after the war.

George was my Great Grandfather. He was a farmer and wood worker.

John was my Great Grandfather. He was a farmer before and after the war.

Sorry this is late. My wife gets a hip replacement in a week and a half and there are Doctor appointments everywhere.
