Uncle Jimmy

More on the trail of the ancestors. Dad's family tree notes that he gave me in 2004 said- "Uncle Jimmy died in the war".  Here he is:  "J Streets" on the memorial in Tatsfield Church.  What it does not say is that he was only 22.    Apparently his mother,  my great grandmother was so distraught when he died that she never stopped grieving and ended up with MS. She was 38 when he was born and 60 when he died. She died at 66.  It brought a tear to my eye; my oldest son is 22 and I was 38 when he was born.   
Yes there is a reflection of me in the picture but I went for the one with the best light on J Streets .
