The Green brothers before departing to FranceAnti-clockwise from bottom right my great-grandmother Maria Penny (formerly Green, nee Smith), my granddad Jim Green, his brother Bill Green, step-brother John Penny, step-father Tom Penny and brother Fred Green. Remarkably all four brothers survived the war although my granddad was gassed and Fred was wounded at some point.Contributed by:
