Text Box: How it all began with Denis Bates in 1971 Text Box: Merry Christmas Ronnie with the Family Tree. December 1971. Now you've got it, Blot and all. I have wanted to do it for years, but would never have got around to it if you hadn't twisted my arm. “Thank you”, Grampy. Denis Bates 1903-1974 Text Box: With a line drawing of the “Family Tree” and typical of Grampy’s sense of humour he wrote beneath the ink blot from his fountain pen. "YE BLOT ON YE FAMILY ESCUTCHEON" Grampy was a surveyor so the family tree he drew was perfection to see.

Lieut. Claud George GRENFELL
Text Box: It is very hard to verify all the information written about the different early Boer Wars. Here is a report of a death but as shown above there is a photo of Lieut. Claud GRENFELL who was reported KIA in 1900 has his photo taken on a ship going home to the UK. Biographical Details: Grenfell. - Lieut. Claude George, Thorney­croft's M.I., was killed in action at Spion Kop, Feb. 24th, 1900. He was educated at Harrow. His death is thus described by a non-commissioned officer (Sergt. Just), "E; Lieut. Grenfell was first wounded in the leg, and a few minutes afterwards in the arm. I was going to bind up his wounds, when he remembered that he had been shot by Boers who were creeping up to the right rear, and he said to me, 'I can get on all right, sergeant; you shoot those men.' I went on shooting, and fired three times when another bullet hit Lieut. Grenfell in the head and killed him."E”. This definitely needs more research. How do we really get to the true story.
