Such a shame the names are blurred and you have not added every name in the comments, as this will aid when doing a Google etc search

Thanks for the feedback Maria. The videos I’ve made are all through learning. I’ve no experience of video editing so for the time being these won’t be perfect but my aim is improve. I enjoy honouring those who came before.

The WWI Commonwealth cemeteries are beautifully maintained. I visited my uncle's grave, in France. Groomed lawns, and flowers planted at the graves. I was very impressed and thankful.

There is a famous folk song written by Eric Bogle called no mans land, he was inspired by a grave in there with the name W McBride. I’ve visited there many times, its one of my favourite Places on the Somme. RIP.

Thanks so much for this well made video. In two days I am taking my mother to be reunited with her cousin only 5 miles away. Both ladies are now in their 90s. We were discussing Russell Pym only yesterday. Russell Pym was another cousin of theirs, and my mother still has his uniform wing.

Thank you for your kind comment and glad i could assist in keeping his memory alive. To see and feel his uniform wing wow! That certainly would be something. I've been lucky enough to see some of the soldiers/airmens medals but never their uniform.

Hello, I filmed this Tuesday. My first visit and it’s absolutely stunning. I do research and on the soldiers and visit their graves sharing their story. As to most it’s a soldiers grave but that’s all most people know so I am hoping to share what happening to our fallen. Did you know what happened to Sgt Millar prior to this video?

@thesomme1916 Hi. Yes it's lovely there. Also the Church door is normally open. Worth a look around and there's lots of books for sale. Just leave a donation. No I don't know alot really as you said I believe it was at the train station. However my grandad lived at glasson . Railway place And in the war his brother went Absent without leave and Military police turned up. He got away through the back window.

@@adrianwade2185sadly it wasn’t open on my visit. Osborne Millard brother had to identify him. Hence why he maybe went AWOL.

Thanks for this, Rob. Good to know a little more local history. George Lee was my Grandad’s mum’s uncle. Getting the shits while on a Soviet adventure, what a way to go. As my Grandad always said, War is hell.
