    Went back to get a better shot of this Majpr's grave, as I had remembered the interesting inscription. I went to Kew this week, on the 65th Anniversary of his death, and discovered his battery were ambushed by Jerry tanks neat Mt Pincon, who took out some of their vehicles and he was killed trying to rescue his men from burning trucks.
