Lest We Forget

I posted a collage of my Great Uncle to celebrate the WW1 Centenary back in August http://365project.org/terryliv/from-the-archiv/2014-08-03
Charles Stanley Smith, my paternal grandmother's brother, was killed during fighting at Strazeele in France in May 1918 and is buried in Eblinghem War Cemetery in France.
In 2012, Rhoda and I had the privilege of being the first of his relatives to ever visit his grave. It was a very humbling and surprisingly emotional experience.
The shot top right is shows the original grave. The rest are pretty self explanatory.
A very fitting tribute. Fav.

A lovely presentation of these important images. The original gravesite image is especially powerful.
