'My Great Grandfather' by Regan Taylor

Wednesday -  'My research information on my Great Grandfather' by Regan Taylor

Regan aged 8

My Great Grandfather's name is Douglas Basil West.  When my great grandfather was in the war he went to Eygpt.
My great grandfather sacrificially served as a gunner in World War 2 in Northern Italy and when he was in the war, he was a gunner and when a grenade exploded a bit of the grenade hit him in the back.  The hospital couldn't get it out but that isnt the way he died.  My great grandfather luckily died by old age. 
I always think that he's lucky. 
When my great grandfather was in the war there was no unattacking aeroplanes so when he got hit in the back he had to go on an ambulance boat.  When my great grandfather got hit and got put in the ambulance boat, the boat made cloudy stuff come out so the Germans couldn't see them.
When my great grandfather was in the war he went to Eygpt and  he rode there in a Bren carrier. 
When my great grandfather wrote letters to Nan Nan, his wife, she always got cut up letters because they weren't allowed to tell people where they were and what they doing.
