Charles Alfred Griffiths circa 1918Charles (aka "Griff", he's seated in front) sent this photograph to his teenaged sister (my maternal grandmother and my daughters' great-grandmother) during World War One when he served as a motorcycle dispatcher in France. The photo reads: "To Kath, hoping she is not suffering from the sniffs just yet. Love, Griff"
