Paternal grandfather (dying of TB in 1932) served throughout as serjeant (I think established in that rank from the outset by dint of service in the Cambridge University OTC) in the Royal Fusiliers 'Kensingtons' and offered his services to their Old Comrades Association until forced to retire. Also a stalwart for the Serpentine swimming club. Maternal grandfather (Barber) also served, Ma claimed as 'Cavalry Officer' sadly don't know much about him.
