The end of the Great War 100 Yrs anniversary 1918-2018

In memory of my Grandfather Daniel Falvey (man in cap with walking stick below right), who served his country in the Great War 1914-1918, was shot and wounded in the leg, was rescued by German troops, was treated for his injuries by them and was then re-patriated at the end of the war to marry Granny Gladys Jones and father eleven children & thirty three grandchildren. A proud and dignified man of the RC Church, Daniel refused to let his (significant) leg injury prevent him from working for a living to support his family, and so he worked for Swansea Corporation in mainly manual type jobs until his retirement. One of Daniel's five sons Gerard was probably signing up for his national service in this photo below, and Gerard went on to serve in Burma in the late 1940's early 1950's - raising 5 children and 10 grandchildren.

And also in thanks and appreciation to my paternal Grandfather William Howells b. 1892 (below left and on the left), and his two brothers, Lawrence (centre) and Stanley Howells (right) pictured below and their kid brother Sam Howells (sent home aged 15) - all from Port Talbot - who served in the Royal Horse Artillery throughout the Great War and came home safely. Grampa William later worked at Velindre Wagon Works in Port Talbot and had eight grand children. His brother in law Great Uncle William Croke, from Port Talbot/Resolven who served and died (aged 19) as a stretcher bearer at the Great Passchendaele offensive in the Great War.

"In memory of all who served and those men and women who served and suffered great sacrifice at home.
AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM "
