My Grandfather Alfred Maunders served in the First World War. I know nothing of his service except that he was in the Inniskillins, was gassed and eventually succumbed to his injurys in the 1920's. I still have a shell casing he bought home. My Uncle George Frank Layne was a pilot in the R.F.C. and R.A.F. I know little about his service but I do have quite a few photographs of him from that time.
