Processing
-
My grandfather, a quiet and private person. Fond memories of visiting him at his home in Mapua and also Richmond.
A huge sacrifice by him and so many others to go to war. I was one of the lucky ones to get him back alive and the chance to spend time with him.
I am here, because he went there.
