"Arthur ""Geoff"" Christie is pictured in this July 12, 1917 photo, taken in France. Writes his granddaughter: ""A few months later he was a victim of early chemical warfare, blinded in a mustard gas attack. He survived, and his eyesight eventually returned. He spoke little of his wartime experiences. As a child I thought it funny when he shouted in his sleep. Now I know better."""
