1123 Herbert Eneas Royal Navy from:Portsmouth My mother's father Herbert Eneas served in the Royal Navy and survived WW1. His two brothers, Alfred who served with the Scots Guards and Will, who was also in the Royal Navy were killed during WW1.
Like many families in the UK nothing was ever mentioned about the men in the family that had died. My mother was 15mths old when Will Eneas died and many years later was told briefly how he and his brother had died.
Through just snippetts of conversation with my mother I have managed to find out alot more about these young men. Will Eneas left behind a wife and a baby daughter, he was awarded the Royal Humane Society's Bronze Medal for saving life at sea. Alfred Eneas was not married.
They are still remembered with affection within our family.
