I would imagine it will be quite a poignant moment at 8pm tonight where you are, Soren? Rest in Peace, Private Staunton. Duty done.
Thanks, yes mate, although each night is moving, he died at the Bluff and from memory something like 40 others from the 1st Bn went missing that day from a trench that was untenable, to give you an idea of the ground that day the Regimental diary records that they had lost a man and a mule due to the Mud that morning.
Your great uncle lives on in your heart Soren. He was a handsome gentleman. Is that where you get your beauty? May he rest in peace . Until you're reunited .......... peaceful
He was a handsome gentleman. How can you tell? Where's the photo of Soren's Great-Uncle? or do you mean his drawing of Waffen-SS tank 'ace' Michael Wittman ??
