For Remembrance Day

[sarahsean]

In remembrance of my great great uncle  Charles  Anscombe died 1915, aged 23 and also Bernard Mahony, my husbands great great uncle died 1918 aged 22.

Not forgetting all those who died in any other conflicts since.

I saw today on the internet that Prince Harry had opened a cemetry for those who died in Afganistan.
It is fantastic that these things are done and all who perish in conflict are not forgotten. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Remembering: John A McKechnie, killed at Pozieres, 23-25th July, 1916 (exact date not known). Initially listed as missing, found in 1923, and buried at Flers.
George Rutherford Buchan, killed at Bullecourt, 11th April, 1917.  He has no known grave, he lies near Riencourt.
John Jack, a cousin of George Rutherford, I have only just found out about him, and, since he enlisted in Scotland, I don't know which unit he was with, or the date of his death.
Glenn Morton McKechnie, an able seaman aboard HMAS Sydney, 1941,  his grave is the ocean off the West Australian coast, the wreck only found last year.
Don Mckechnie, George Nickolas Sparks, William Buchan, John Buchan (my Grandfather), the other 2 Jack cousins- thank you, for signing up to those dreadful wars, for us.  Bless you all.

We WILL remember them......

I'd also like to remember other members of my family tree who gave their lives:

Tom Archbell, Royal Field Artillery, who died 3 November 1917 and is commemorated at Ploegsteert,Belgium.

Walter William  Archbell, who emigrated to Australia with his family in 1913, but returned to Europe with the Australian 8th Battalion and died in Belgium on 25 October 1917.

Allen Walter Archbell, Walter William's son, who died in WW2 aboard HMAS Sydney on 19/20 November 1941.

Other members of my families fought in both World Wars but returned home safely.
