About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

This is my grandfather in his uniform for World War 1. He served in the Horse Artillery for the NZEF (New Zealand Expeditionary Force) in France. Their job was to drag the big guns around the battlefront. He was later injured and eventually sent back home to New Zealand where he recovered. He got married in 1920.
My grandfather was one of 5 brothers who all fought in Europe during the Great War. One of those brothers was KIA at Paschendaele in 1917. The other 4 (obviously including my grandfather) all returned home safely.
