Story behind the treasure: Thankfully Grandad had survived the Great War, 'Victory Ahead, God Bless you and bring you home safely home again, the Lord is thy keeper' was the message in the pocket bible given to him on embarkation at Southampton back in November 1915. It had taken 3 terrible years in coming but he was now safely through. Nevertheless many of his 18th Middlesex Pioneer pals were sadly lost. Along with his medals I still have this treasured pocked bible, I never spoke to Grandad about the war so these items make me closer and so proud of him.
