#LestWeForget Whilst visiting home, in Pembrokeshire last week, I had to visit this lonely soldier who rests nearby and who is not forgotten. Next time, I’ll take some gardening tools and tidy up around his gravestone. #WW1 #FWW #Saundersfoot #Pembrokeshire

Nice to see ‘The Half-Shilling Curate’ shown as one of the Western Front Association’s ‘hidden gems’! I hope many people who haven’t or have read the story will continue to enjoy my grandfather’s incredible account of courage, love and faith. #WW1 #FWW #Chaplain #Faith #Courage.
