Gaius and May 1908

My maternal great-grandparents in a locket that was an engagment token. It's engraved with thier initials on the obverse, the side that would be closest to her heart when she wore it. Sadly they were married for only 3 years.

I wore the locket on my wedding day, it was my 'old' and my 'borrowed'.
Oh, my gosh! This is such a beautiful image. Well done Jackie.
