After Dieppe , Amiens we left for St Quentin Cabaret, where Graham has an uncle buried who was killed in May 1917.
It is believed that he was the first relative to visit this grave site.
We planted a hortensia which should last the summer.
It made for a very special stop on our trip to honour a distant relative whose live was cut short at the tender age of 21..
We also helped along an englishman who was looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack...
But our map with approximately 100 cemetries around Ypres helped him locate the one he was looking for..
