Robert J Grant

Canadian Captain Robert "Bob" Grant was a casualty of World War 2 when he was killed at age 27 in 1944. The only photo community member Beth had of Captain "Bob" Grant was that found in an old yellowed newspaper, which she shared on AncientFaces. Shortly after sharing, the son of Capt. Grant sent Beth a better photo which she replaced on AncientFaces, shown here.

Within a few months, not only did Beth receive a better copy of the photo, but she also connected with new family - her aunt who was Captain Grant's wife, Francis, and his son Bob Grant - bringing to a close decades of searching.

Beth said "Thank You, AncientFaces. My long lost Aunt is now 86 years old and her son and I are talking by phone and e-mails."
