Hearing one of the kids on the hockey team introduce his great-grandma to my son. Totally wild. My great grandmother lived 1867-1952.
I didn't even really get the grandparent experience as a kid, let alone great-grandparents.
My great grandad died when i was 16. Original ANZAC and all
My grandfather was the Anzac. He served in both world wars. He passed away before I was born, though.
He was an absolute larrikin, there are loads of stories about him. He was famous in his hometown, is mentioned in its history etc.
I'd share highlights, but it'd probably doxx me. 😂
That's a great innings for back then!
