My Great Great Grandfather was killed somewhere near Arras, he died 10th October 1918 in the last month of the war. He was a driver with 56th Motor Transport Company, Army Service Corps, they were attached to the artillery and resupplied the guns with ammunition. He conceived my Great Grandmother whilst home on leave, returned to France and didn't come back. His truck was his by a shell and exploded, he survived for a short time after but succumbed to his wounds in a casualty clearing station, which to my understanding is a large military hospital some way behind the lines.
My great grandma never met her father but we traced him through the commonwealth war graves commission and took her to France about ten years ago to see him for the first time. Since then she has passed away, but we have revisited with my grandma and we took my children this year.

It will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end.
