Blood and branches

World war two played a big part in both my families my mother's and my father's. My Gt grandfather Douglas become a prisoner of war and only after the war he was released. And my Gt grandparents moved from Switzerland to South Africa in 1933 because of the economic crisis. And last but not least my Gt grandfather Ronald served in five ships as a senior officer.
