My grandmother, Constance EVERSHED was born in Washington on 9 February 1897, the youngest daughter of Daniel Tidy and Sarah Jane EVERSHED née GOLDS. She married George Arthur SIMS in Washington on 2 September 1919. I have many memories of my grandparents, but knew very little of their early lives and practically nothing of the lives of their siblings. About a year ago, my father mentioned that he remembered a photo of his mother's brothers in Australian Army uniform and wondered why that was. This chance remark has led me on a fascinating and sometimes frustrating journey of discovery about my ancestors. The story of three of my great-uncles is intriguing, courageous, heart-warming and ultimately tragic, and probably echoes the lives of many young Sussex men who fought for their country in the First World War.
