My grandfather Joseph Jones used to tell us one or two stories as children when we 8 or 9. Most of the time my brother and I were an unappreciative audience. But one stuck with us which was when with the KRRC he was in Salonika during WW1. His group were standing in line, he used to say, waiting to have a mug of tea dished out by the cook from this huge dixie of tea. A bomb of some kind came over and the soldiers hit the floor. When the got up they found that the cooks head had been blown off and landed in the Dixie of tea.
