Two Wives
A friend of Reddit user meditatorBear was stunned to learn that her great-great-grandfather who fought during World War I had managed to keep two wives a secret without anyone knowing.
“In primary school, we had a WWI memorial lesson and we were asked if anyone had any relatives who fought at the time. My friend brought in a picture of his great-great-grandfather with his wife.
A girl also brought in a picture of her great-great-grandfather with his wife.
The teacher said they looked similar. She put them side-by-side and looked shocked. We gathered around, and it was the same man who had kept his two wives a secret. Both had been married privately.
They were cousins and didn’t know.”
