Thank you, yes he did have a tough time of it, he was one of 13 children and they were a poor family hence why he came over here at 17, it is some of the things he saw in russia it really did turn his stomach and he had a stomach of steal, he was a wonderful person even if an old grouch bless him
He remembered 1922 in Ireland and the black and tans etc and more.
Will look where you suggested am over in Yorkshire now so a visit to liverpool would be a while away but will have a look online
