My Grandparents

My grandfather was a drummer boy in the Boer War when he was 14years old, like many boys they lied about his age to join up. He was then in the regular arm until he retired. He died when I was 5yrs old but I remember him always being extremely smart walking very erectly and having a waxed mustache which he twirled at the ends.
My grandmother was very elegant and was a brilliant seamstress and made me some lovely clothes.
