Young soldiers

1914 - 1918 .

Young soldiers just signed up at St Merryn , near Padstow . Cornwall .
The vehicle is a horse carriage.

my Grandad was one of them , As a teenager he lived on a farm at St Merryn
and could handle Shire Horses so the Army put him in the Horse Artillery

Those cottages are still there on the main coast road from Newquay to Padstow .

He ended up in YPRES . one of the worst wars
