Passchendaele 100 on BBC 2

I always shed a tear for those who fought in WW1. My dad was amongst them. Born in Tony Pandy in 1894 ( he was some 23yrs older than mom).Left school at 12 and straight to the mines.
Joined the 5th battalion South Wales borderers at the outbreak of war.Made sergeant, saw action in battle of Loos in 1915, wounded in 1917 at the third battle of Ypres, a horrible time for all concerned, but don't they make you feel so proud.
