Amyatt Byng Giraud was my grandfather. He served in the Boer War, emigrated initially to New Zealand with 2 brothers but after the war emigrated to Nakusp British Columbia Canada where he married Ida Funcke. In 1927 he moved to northern BC settling in Smithers. He died there in 1949. His children have settled in various parts of the province. There are 22 Giraud cousins here
