My grandad was apparently born in Elgin, Scotland in about 1898.As a member of The Seaforth Highlanders he served in the 'Great War'and was badly wounded in 1916 when he he received a bullet in the spine.He was returned to England with the injury.
He married a nurse from Norfolk, named Florence, in 1917 and my mother was born in 1918.He worked for the post office between 1920 and 1930 as an odd-job man.In 1930 he moved to Herne Bay in Kent where Florence became the manager of 'The Chez Laurice' restaurant and dance hall.Robert died in 1950.
