I have been doing a lot of my family research lately and discovered Edward was my great great Uncle! I had just recently read of his captivity in Germany but hearing a more innocent story of his life after the war was so touching, this war torn veteran pushing himself along the street on a ladies bike XD Classic

I don't know if you are still around but thanks for sharing this and the one on his son Michael (my cousin) too!
