My grandfather had a very exiting life. When he was young, he lived on a farm in the country. His parents raised cattle, and looked after cows. When he was eighteen, he went to university, where he studied Philosophy. He also played the trumpet in a band. When the war started, he tried to join the Air force, but he ended up in the Navy. In the Atlantic, a German torpedo ripped a hole in the side of his ship, and the ship sank. Only five menescaped. They sailed in a lifeboat back to England. Then he met my grandmother, and they married after three weeks. He says now that he wanted to marry her very quickly in case he diedin the war.
