ROBERT GRANT 1882-1917
GREAT GRANDFATHER
Robert with his wife Janet and their two young children - he was killed three and a half months after writing this letter home from the trenches in France. He said he had had some awful frights and that you would need the luck of the devil to get safely through without "landing something" - sadly he was right and his luck ran out.
