It’s sad that they died so young, like so many ,and for two of them to have no known graves. A similar story to my own great uncles, one inscribed at Thiepval, and one at the Menin Gate. We should also be proud of those women robbed of their loved ones and in some cases never to marry.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-71578764684376049972016-11-11T06:29:43.673+00:002016-11-11T06:29:43.673+00:00So very sad.

Until then we must honor those soldiers and sailors with mementos like this beautiful one you've made.
