    Mind you, they would all have had to stay still for this photograph to be taken. I like all the faces in the background.

    Anyway my Grandfather recovered from his lung infection. He died in in 1947. But luckily he fathered my mother in time for Smabs to occur.

    Hi Smabs,
    do you know if one of the Belgians had the surname Daveluy?

    Sorry mkjones, but the only other Belgian name that I know from this time was Albert Debucquoy.
