My grandfather Private G. Povey. 33987 of the Duke of Cornwalls' Light Infantry was killed on the 4th of October 1917, and is buried in Ypres Reservoir Cemetery.

Sadly he never saw his son (my father) as after his leave in August earlier that year, when my father was obviously conceived, he went back to the front and was later killed in the October. My father was born the following April.
