Pte David Andrews

British Army Suffolk Regement 7th Battalion

from:Hinxton Grange

(d.15th October 1916)

David Andrews was my Grandfather. All I know is he was killed a few days before my father was born.

We migrated to Australia in 1952 when I was nine. my Grandmother left me in her will two and one half Sovereigns which she said was her late husband last pay. Gran also migrated to Australia in 1980 she lived to 99.9 years and never remarried.

The coins have been keeped in a safe place at home. I mentioned to my wife that one day I would have the half Sovereign made into a ring. It was my 70th birthday just recently and she surprised me with the sovereign ring, since then I have been researching that time in the war where Grandfather was when he was killed. It must have been hell on earth for those men in the valley of the Somme,I have told my Grandson that he will have the ring when I pass on and to pass it onto his children with all the details. God bless you Grand father I will think of you every time I look at the ring Rest in Peace
