We have traced all sorts and found posters and pictures, got them signed by another relation named william grover!
So close and yet we never knew about it, then when we asked my nan she said she remembers her dad talking about it many moons ago

My great grandad died in the first world war in one of the first tank battles.

Shes traced our family back to the 1600's She also caused a bit of bother when she found out her grandad isn't actually her actual Grandfather and her actual Grandfather Drowned In a lake in Burma just a few days before the end of the war was declared
