I never knew either of my grandfathers, John Mitchell or Harold Wyndham Lilja. They both served in WWI and again in WWII. To honour their memory I am working on a photo essay to mark the centenary years of the Great War.
I am collecting portraits of descendants of WWI veterans with the mementoes of their grandfather's service.
What WWI artefacts or keepsakes have been handed down in your family? Please contact me if you would like to take part.
As Harold landed in England on 29 January 1917 en route to the Western Front, I have started an online exhibition of this work for one year by posting one photograph each week on Facebook and Instagram, together with a weekly blog.
