They are certainly not forgotten over here mate. Big parade in the village on the 11th. It’s nice that your grandfather has someone who valued his service.
Blessings and respect to your grandfather. I have a few relatives in the long line as well - in particular Great-Great Uncle Jim Beattie, 10th Bn Cheshire Regt, killed at Ancre Ridge, 1917, aged 19.
Good that we get this moment in time to remember their sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed Norm.
