Thanks Pinetree .... I hadn't seen that post !!

How wonderful it would be - to have them actually part of your family !! 

I'm enthralled with these soldiers ..... and what they went through ..... all I can do is sigh and shake my head ...... they were brave men .... that's for sure !!

Not so sure about their leaders though ... who apparently ate a champagne lunch /dinner afterwards !!

Amazing   

Here is your next challenge  - Migky sent me a link to Philips Park cemetery, this is an extract

The cemetery also contains a number of graves of historic interest. These include two survivors of the 1854 Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War, a soldier who received  the Victoria Cross for bravery at the battle of Rorke’s Drift in 1879 (famously dramatised in the 1964 film ‘Zulu’), and a family who perished during the 1915 sinking of the liner Lusitania, an act that would contribute to the United States’ decision to enter the First World War.

I wonder who the other was?

Macks come throught again with the goods

Dying in a workhouse would make me think paupers sections of Phillips park, we would be very luck to find the grave. But will have to give it a go.

Hi

Would it not be possible to ring up the relevant Cemetery Office and ask them to put
a marker on the grave for you.

I have been trying to get through to them but no reply yet.
