242658 Gnr. Bert Hodgson British Army 149th Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery from:Blackpool Bert Hodgson was just a regular guy doing his duty, my grandad and all his batallion. To me they were all brave men. Many of whom never returned home. For whatever reason my Grandad Bert never ever talked about any of experiences. I've got his medals and his bayonet and scabbard of which I'm proud to own.
I also have a sepia panoramic photograph of grandad and the whole battalion hanging on my wall showing the regimental mascot a little black and white terrier. I would like to learn more about Grandad Bert but being as he didn't want to talk about the war perhaps it's best left alone.
