I am Paul George Bowler Mason his brothers grandson

garnault1 Hi Paul, Thanks for adding your comment. It would be great if you can add any further information about Captain Mason. Thank you.

Well I know his fellow solders produced a pamphlet about him which I think my brother has. His loss was felt down the generations. We should know all his children, had he lived! I would have known him well. We are all in education so that would have been a strong connection. I have a post card form him from the front. Picture of a german saying"my gotta the Glosters are coming!. And his hand saying. 'Tis ourselves who do it!' . Love Will. That is his last message. What a waste. Britain lost it best and brightest -leaving the idiots in charge.
