In memory of my Grandfather who left his wife and son on the 4th of August 1914 to go to war as an army reserve. He saw a notice pinned on a farm gate in the village of Hanbury in Worcestershire and went home and packed a bag, he didn't even have his tea before leaving. My Grandmother never saw him again. My mother was born on the 18th of November 1914 the same day that my Grandmother received the telegram to say that he had been killed.
