Centurion... still battling on... kind of a nice metaphor... especially for Old Soldiers... Got my memory twisted... BSA window... Can't get my laptop to paste the link and I'm off to work now but if you search for "Zennor" from the main page it will come up...
Oh wow - the pillow's nice too. I bet the pillow marks a spot of a specific person who was a vet. Very intriguing! Surely the clergy associated with the church would know? They must have archives, no? I know you probably don't need more archives to look through, haha. You know, on the topic of memorials, I have to say that grave markers are important to me. I would like to some day go to my grandfather's grave at Taukkyan war cemetery. I know he was moved a bunch, which also kind of bothers me not sure why. Nobody in our family has gone. I'd like to take my dad but my mother isn't well so it's not in the cards. I am really not a religious person at all but somehow going to his grave seems like an important thing to do. I guess monuments can serve those purposes for some as well.
Thanks everyone for trying to educate me on one of my silly questions but that's me and how I roll. On my learning curve on here it is always the littlest thing that I need answers to so once again Thank you Elsie Zeezee I really hope you get to go on your personal homage. I do not think I could cope knowing my dad was laid to rest in a foreign land . Take care Elsie.
Myf... it's a form of connection with a relative you never knew personally... although I have vague memories of my grandfather (passed when I was three), and have most of his medals, the most connected I feel to him is in the family graveyard up on the Island or at his statue in London... daft as it sounds, I passed it in the dark last night and wished him well whilst doing so... The BSA cushion... that's why I posted all the pics... Steve noted it too... My buddy sent me a leaflet he picked up there too but there is scant info, and the site is fairly remote... Elsie... keep posting 'em... that's what we're here for...
