A bit of family history finally clicked in my head last night.
It's a story I'd heard before, but didn't realise I shared a descendants with the brothers. Their mum was my GGrandma's sister.

Now, I did know about my other Great Grandads pigeon flying medal.
I own it. More info on the same website as the above tale.

Interesting stories Fly.
I was recently at our Local History Society meeting when a chap came in with some photographs.
He was showing our secretary the photo's and I heard a name mentioned, the surname was the same as my grandfathers.
So jumped up and introduced myself.
Cutting the story short this chap lives in the next village to me, and his grandfather was my grandfathers cousin.
When I told my aunt she was over the moon that her uncle's ( who she remembers well ) grandson had photographs to share.
Small world!
