He thankfully survived WW1 - a quiet, gentle, deeply religious man who never, ever spoke about the horrors he had seen although it affected him deeply. After the War he worked voluntarily for the TOC H movement all his life. He served in the Home Guard during WW2. He started a Social Centre for the Blind and after he was widowed in 1957 visited those less fortunate than himself. The last few years of his life were spent as 'confident, bouncer and general law enforcer' at the local Youth club! He died in 1964 aged 83 - the church was packed with teenagers. A very dear grandfather.
