Two years ago I travelled to Portsoy to visit the graves of my granparents. Alexander was the brother of my Grandfather Findlay Wood, they were a family of fisherman. My own father, Joseph Wood, followed in the footsteps by joining the Royal Navy and serving 1939-1945. He was involved in the famous Malta Run and in the Battle of the Atlantic. His brother, my Uncle William Wood, also served in the Gordon Highlanders and was recruited into the first Parachute Regiment involved n the Brummell raid. A family who all served their country and involved in some of the most difficult campaigns of both wars. My other Grandfather, Perceival Gray, was awarded the DCM during the First World War. May they all rest in peace. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
