Thanks Geo, yes I actually visited the CWG office which just happens to be
in Leamington Spa! I was given details of the memorial site etc and have
since seen the website ( from the Trivia list probably!!) but it was good to
read about the battles he would have been involved in.What a immense loss of
life there was during them though, reading it again brings it home to
you......
Gwen.
