Wow Gareth, great picture! I'll be showing this to dad (Uncle Peter)
ReplyDeleteYour dad was telling me that apparently grandad and nanny took him to see the grave when he was a young boy, but dad doesn't remember it. I wonder if the picture will remind him.
Great blog!
It is a great picture isn't it? I've been looking into the 9th Para's movements on the 7th June and it looks like our uncle may have been killed in action against a German unit staffed by Russians! Enrolled in the German Army after being PoWs... More on this later.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll keep an eye on the blog and do send me any info you get. I'm especially after scans of photos, documents etc. to do with Uncle Roddy, Nanna and Grampy Hurley and any Hurley relations inc. stuff from Ireland.
Btw - tell your mum about my post on chickens... it might sway her. ;-)
