James Wiseman Stronach 1923 - 2000
"When Jim was on leave from the army, he would visit Grace at the small holding where her family lived. On one occasion they (Jim and Grace) went on a pic-nic. They talked about the future and Grace asked Jim what he would do after the war was over, Jim said that he was going to get married, Grace asked "to who ?", and he said "to you Grace".
The above account was told to me by my Mother (Grace).
He (my Dad) told me that he would not get married till after the war was over. He was on the front line and did not think it would be fair to leave a wife without a husband.
When you look at the picture of Jim at his wedding, I think you can still see the strain of the war in his face, unlike the picture of him above where he looks quite at ease." - Robert M Stronach
