if you go to tyne cot say hi to my great uncle, private benton madeley of the kings liverpool regt, hes one of the ones named up on the dais because they couldnt find enough of him to have his own grave, along with thousands of his mates. etaples has a lovely cemetary too and there are some good ones around the belgian village of passendale, especially the irish tower. its good to see the locals treat the cemetaries with great respect and care, they are immaculate.
Spot on shipmate: often forgotten in the humdrum of every day life, but we all have to go sometime - do you want to live forever?? Well, do you?
