  • On behalf of the late Mary (nee Dow) ... thinking of my dearest father during this very special time. You were a wonderful man who I loved dearly and was extremely proud of.
    Report 
  • Thinking of you Grandad during this very special time of remembrance. You were the same age as Rachael, your Great Grandaughter when you left to fight in Egypt, I cannot imagine what your family would have been experiencing at the time. Although you were only in my life for such a very small time, your dear daughter Mary kept your legacy alive over the years. It is now my time to follow in my mum's footsteps and take the time to pay tribute to you and your amazing efforts. With all my heart
