A CORNER THAT IS FOR EVER ENGLAND.

I hope that this picture is acceptable on the site. It is not England I know -but in a sense it is. This a private memorial from our family to my husbands grandfather who was KIA near ARRAS -PAS DE CALAIS ON 23/04/1917-St Geoges day.We have placed it outside the wall of the cemetry that he is buried in- Cuckoo Passage ,Heninel- shown in next picture. We feel priveledged to visit our brave men left behind in these foreign fields and I always get the feeling that they know we are there. Each cemetry has a stone stating the fact that the government of the country have freely given the land on which the cemeteries are, in perpetuity, which makes them a part of us and our country.
