Hi Michel

Its nice to put a face to the name and a very handsome face too and now we can picture you for if and when we meet up.

Its good to know that the inscription on the stone is not damaged and to know what is said on it so thank you Graham for risking injury to tell us.

My own family in Liverpool were offering to go turn the stone over until Annies wise words of caution made me stop them from doing so as this should be done under authorisation and supervision of the church.

You look like a lovely man Michel - I was expecting an elderly gentleman and you look very young!  ;)

Graham, I'm amazed that you were able to move the stone - I hope you haven't done yourself a mischief!

   Good morning Michel.

 So good to see the man who started this quest with his ambition to re-unite the war token. My thanks for looking after it so well.

 Graham hope you are not suffering you exploits lift the stone but many thanks for the conformation as we now know Roberts resting place.

 Mary the church looks lovely many thanks for attending so many of us were with you in spirit ...who knows maybe even Robert was watching over it all.

Michel. That is one impressive driveway you have there.
I think the pond at the bottom of the garden is a bit much though. ;D

Well done Michel you are a Gentleman.
