Our honor ’tis to give our tears–
Soldiers that lie at rest!
Smiles, we give, too; and cheering glance
With farewell kiss; while saddened FranceTo men asleep in reddened fields
The peace unending gently yields
Of Heaven’s blest.
History of the 18th Battalion CEF, "The Fighting Eighteenth" 
Frank’s grandfather Thomas Redge emigrated to Canada c1851-53. His great grandfather, also Thomas, served under Wellington in the 1st Royal Dragoons during the Peninsular War, to 1814, and received the Army Medal with 3 clasps when it was eventually issued in 1847. By then he was serving as barrack sergeant in Waterford, Ireland.
Frank’s elder brother Charles also served in the Boer War and the First World War. A family tradition of military service and also of bricklaying, whch traces back to gg grandfather in Llandysilio, Montgomeryshire in the late 18th cent.
I wonder whether Frank met his second cousins when he passed through England.
