In Remembrance of my cousin Stanley Maurice Jones, only son of Maurice and Kate Jones of Weston Super-Mare.
A Private in the Somerset Light Infantry, 12th (West Somerset Yeomanry) Bn, he died 2nd September 1918 aged 20 and is buried at Peronne, Somme.

Also remembering my great grandad Alfie Rendall who also fought on the Somme but survived and died in 1974 age 84.  Thinking of all those who fought with him and died whose names we do not know.

"The Last Flight Of The Lost Glider Pilot" - By B. Zelley (June 2004)

As we flashback to the stormy dark day of June 6, 1944, Eleanor Phillips
of Poplar may have been one of the many that was watching and waiting.

As the dawn broke, it was the last flight of the lost glider pilot -
Daniel Francis PHILLIPS is one of the many that never returned on that
historical day.
