18TH SEPTEMBER

It would have been my Granny Geake’s (Phyllis Grace Geake, nee Weaver) birthday today. She was born on 18th September 1916 and it’s understood the news of her father’s death in WWI, which occurred ten days before, arrived in Tavistock the day she was born. Her mother wasn’t told of it for another ten days.

This photograph of her as a young child was Gran’s favourite.
