Have took photos of this below, but am unable to post them all as some just haven't turned out. We did bump into a guy who seemed quite knowleagble about the Memorial, and he did say that it is due to be cleaned up. I hope so, as its a nice one, but the names are fading fast

I don't believe it. You'll never guess what track I'm listening to on my MP3 when that post mentioning your shadow came up....
'Me and My Shadow' by Robbie Williams on the SWING When You're Winning album!!! ;D It's the only album of his I like!

It was very sad walking round here, although the church are doing their best to tidy things up there have been instances of vandalism in the graveyard. I took photos of the war graves and will post them on this thread but if anyone would like hard copies for family history purposes please let me know.
