ST EDWARDS ORPHANAGE HAD A WONDERFUL BAND (1927)

[clelcock]

My Granddad was at St Edwards and played in the band. Its how he met my Grandma who stood and cheered him, she has sadly passed away. My Granddad is an amazing man who survived the war, travelling the world in the Navy. He had his own business and now has three very intelligent children plus many grandchildren, who adore him. So don't worry, not every boys story is a sad one from St Edwards, my Granddad is cherished!

@tonyflanagan that's great thanks for telling me about the photo and site. I have forwarded the link onto my Dad, as I have only seen photos of my Granddad from when he was in the Navy and onward...it would be lovely if we get a positive match and i shall be sure to let you know if we do!
