    Report 
  • Great great grandfather Harold Theodore Peat was brave and strong for withstanding the war, and I am happy to know that he was married because it means he had a heart enough to love. Even though I never knew him, I still know that I love him very much, just like my great grandmother. I was greatly pleased to watch as dad placed a poppy on the cenotaph of my never great great grandfather. May he never be forgotten.
