Pte. Aaron John Flower
British Army 7th Battalion Somerset Light Infantry
from:Nunney Frome, Somerset
My granddad, Jack Flower, returned home after 2 years being a prisoner of war in Germany. He didn't realise he had a bullet inside him, and worked for 17 years at a quarry. When he was taken ill in 1934 he had to spend 4 years in Roehampton Hospital. He then died because of this in 1938.
He was a widower and left behind 4 children, one who was my father. I only have a few things to remember him by, his medals and a few photographs, and a beautiful letter he wrote to my father. I never met him, but I love him and am very proud of him.
