How very moving Teresa. I think repatriation has to be part of the deal for a serviceman. I'm also moved by the fact that the site is marked and untouched, instead of a few houses...
The memorial at the church end of my road had a larger number of wreaths this year than I have seen for some time (even though the parade was very small).
The empty field and sign touched me as if the grave stones were still there. I'm glad those brave men were repatriated to their loved ones, albeit not as they would have wished. Lest we forget .....
