Edward's Story
Edward King was married with 3 children. He was one of 4 boys and 7 girls. 3 of the boys died at the Somme. A petition was made and the 4th son David King was not sent to the Somme. He lived till he was 76. How a mother and father cope with loosing 3 children in such a short time is beyond me.
