In the modern world of being able to watch television programmes on your phone and tablets it has never been easier to find some way to keep your children entertained - but nothing is more powerful and heart-warming and educational than reading to your child.\u003cbr\u003eMy Great-Grandad was a Soldier is a beautifully illustrated story of a young boy, doing what young boys do, exploring potential treasure and discovering the history of his great-grandad and how he was a soldier in the World War.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is a gentle introduction to children into history and I am grateful to Rosita for supporting Care After Combat – a veterans’ charity close to my heart. I hope you enjoy the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon Weston C.B.E. is a Falkland's War Veteran, author, public speaker \u0026amp; charity supporter.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1982 he was aboard the Sir Galahad when it was destroyed at Bluff Cove in the Falklands Islands.
