Toby Jones discovers his grandfather was shot in the face during Second World War

As a child, Hollywood actor Toby Jones noticed mysterious scars on his grandfather’s face, a permanent mark of the horrors of war.

But his grandparents never spoke about the devastating impact of the Second World War on their lives. Toby regrets never asking them about it.

Now 56, he says: “I knew they did some extraordinary things during the war but we never spoke about this momentous time in their lives.”
