Cenotaph record

Tai Yates

Lay a poppy
Tai is my Greatgrandfather on my mums side. I didn't know him but i've heard many stories about him and i wanted to pay my respect. Don't really know much about the photo like where it was taken or when or who took it but its been on my mantle piece for a long time and at least i know who it is.
