History
The photographs, book and newspaper clippings were from Andy Robinson's mother's father; Gordon Alexander Boyd during his time in Canada and overseas from 1914-1918. He fought in European towns such as Arras, Amiens, Cambria, Hindenburg Line and in big battles such as Vimy Ridge and The Somme against the Germans. The photographs and the book were loaned by Andy Robinson and the newspaper clippings were donated.
