My grandad, Jack Watson, was reported missing in action at Roeux,in France, on 29th April 1917. He was a prisoner of war in Germany, for at least part of the time at Gustrow, but I have not yet discovered when he was repatriated. My grandma, Harriet, gave birth to twin girls in the summer of 1917, but they both died by the end of that year, so Jack may never have seen them. Harriet already had her hands full with four other children, aged between eleven and two.
