grandad served in the navy aboard the HMS Victory during WW2. was also a part of the team that got sent out to conduct radioactivity tests in the region of the "a-bomb" explosions.
died in 2001 to lung cancer, which turns out after all these years was connected to the radioactivity that he was exposed to all those years ago.
also... dunno if many of u remember it but he used to be in one of the teams that did the field gun run every year. cant remember which team he was in but i think thats pretty cool. used to love watching those guys move them big cannons across the course
RIP
