Doing my part to honor my dad...WWII...Adak Island working communications out on the DEW Line...his watch and one of his favorite meals! I'm doing the easy part...they did the hard part.
@TexOmega showed pictures of a family watch, a picture of his father in uniform, and a picture of his grandfather in uniform. This brought to a photo that I have of my maternal grandfather, taken circa 1895. This was when he was a constable in the London Metropolitan Police, and. Member of the police brass band. He played a cornet, and he played before Queen Victoria in London’s Crystal Palace. I have his cornet. The photo shows him wearing a Albert pocket watch chain, and I can only assume he was wearing his English lever, fusee pocket watch in his pocket. This pocket watch is no longer in the family dammit! I have a pocket watch chain that was his, although it is clearly not the chain he wears in the picture. The chain I have is a Waldemar style, and being 9-karat gold, it would not be the chain he was wearing in the picture. After his carreer as a copper, he joined the British Army, and did a stint in South Africa, during the Boer War. By then he was married and had kids. He brought the whole family to a homestead in Sakatchewan in about 1908. My grandfather: His 9 karat pocket watch chain, a Victorian half sovereign, and 14-karat pen knife.
5227R. I'd do something about the perpetual state of ungodly toddler-mess the house is in, but that would eat into the time it takes to compose and crop out the worst parts of our messes when I'm taking wrist selfies! #priorities
