Lying in a small communal cemetery that dates back many centuries(chapel graffiti dates 17century and earlier! <br />His CWGC stone stands proud over the generations of local family markers and all that can be heard are the birds whistling overhead and the trees rustling in the breeze; a forgotten paradise.<br />I shall ensure I visit occasionally and sit a while to read, or just admire the beauty and tranquility whilst reflecting on the history. I shall also take visitors and explain his history as I guide them around the area & battlefields.<br />I took a couple of photos with my phone but unable to upload them. If you would like any photos or have something placed at his graveside then please get in touch.<br />Very informative site btw.<br />Best regards<br />DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159213567052243390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474786767930983135.post-47261826562224542962016-09-03T12:41:57.135+10:002016-09-03T12:41:57.135+10:00By the way I just tidied up Vic's URL which wa...By the way I just tidied up Vic's URL which was a bit messy.
