My Grand dad has a war grave there and he is also on the roll of Honour in the church and each year they read out the names on that roll of honour, he served in both world wars the first world war as a pilot and he died in the Royal Navy in the Second World War.
I didn't feel clicking the 'thumps up' as appropriate, Mr Matcham. Respect to you and yours nonetheless.Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES. - Keith Sansum1
