It is a pity that the inscription is being effaced (the stones are laid flat, and the rain is I suppose acidic). As you point out (or imply), 1940 makes it potentially a grave of a war casualty. I wish I knew more. Pleasure to receive comment from such a significant historical figure, too.DrRoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351695058512676554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21432259.post-1160343711783272422006-10-08T22:41:00.000+01:002006-10-08T22:41:00.000+01:00Thanks for this post which I found quite moving, e...Thanks for this post which I found quite moving, especially having two small daughters ourselves.<BR/><BR/>In the graveyard of St James in Hampton Hill are some Canadian war graves from WWI.
