'Luck runs in my family.'
On his father’s side, Chris discovered that his great-grandfather was part of a famed battalion that fought in the Gallipoli campaign during the first World War in 1915, with his relative taking a bayonet to the cheek.
The family story was that, upon his return from the Turkish region, his great-grandfather was eventually captured in France three days before the end of the war, but Ramsey found that the truth had been twisted somewhat. It turned out that his relative had been drafted to fight during the Battle of the Somme, but a bout of scabies ruled him out of action, with Chris attributing it to the “family luck.” His great-grandfather was indeed captured, albeit far before the end of the war, and spent the rest of the conflict in a POW camp in Germany.
