Personal Stories
My Grandad
Stanley Richard Pollard was my grandad. He died on my seventh birthday, having returned from the first world war. He was in the 7th Infantry Battalion.
I used to have his bugle and his war medals but they disappeared when my grandmother died. I would love to know if anyone knows where they might be. I had an idea she donated them to an RSL, possibly Preston RSL.
