How very kind, it is doubtful if any of their family members were able to visit.
So far from home .
There are a few cemeteries for Chinese labourers on The Somme, and Indian troops.
I don’t suppose they were ever  visited  either
As far as possible we called in ,but many we saw on our way through the
area .
But if course the vast majority of British and American  troops ‘graves won’t have been visited by relatives .That is very sad .
A day of memories Jeff ,well done.
Viktoria.

Well done Jeff. The youngsters will benefit from seeing your research.
One of our daughters is a teacher and my contribution for her has been my family tree research from a WW1 relative  who was awarded the MM and the DCM for their school history project.
Plus she uses some of my old toys for ‘ toys from the olden days’. Makes me feel even more ancient!
