Great idea to set-up this site, the trip is an excellent idea and I'm sure will be a great success from looking at the list of 'notables' already confirmed. I'm going to get the Eurostar from London to Calais and see you all sometime on the 27th.
This article http://www.worcestershireregiment.com/wr.php?main=inc/bat_14 (copy and paste into your internet browser) recounts the battle at Gavrelle where Granda won his Military Medal for gallantry. Granda is also mentioned in this article which recounts the history of the Worcester Regiment.
It's not too many men who fought in WW1, The War of Independance and then took the Republican side in the Civil War - and its great and fitting that Paddy Horkan is remembered in this way.
