My Mum's Father survived WW1 and became a Liverpool Bobby, Emigrated to Australia and Died here After my Grandmother did. I have all Medals from all three Men. My oldest Grandson wore them in the Anzac day Parade in the Next of kin section; I followed and Videoed it all, afterwards we sat with the old Military personal and had a cup of Tea. A very proud day, he had asked me could he do it, he is now a Father in his own right and produced a Daughter that became a fifth living generation in June. Ron Fitzpatrick.

Hi Ron >My oldest Grandson .....is now a Father in his own right and produced a >Daughter that became a fifth living generation in June. I vaguely recollect you mentioning on the list about this time last year that you were expecting to become a great-grandad in mid-2008. Didn't notice any announcement, but then I have had a lot of problems with my mails this year and didn't like to ask in case something had gone wrong. Belated congratulations!
