Arthur Ernest Parker (Pip) my Great Uncle died of his wounds, shot down over France.
I was lucky enough to visit his grave site about 5 years ago in Bailleul communal cemetery Nord France. The cemetery is beautifully kept.
There is a memorial plaque on my Great Grandparent grave which is about 500 meters inside the main gates of the Karori Wellington cemetery's on the right hand side.
A Great Uncle never met but never forgotten. RIP

Robyn Gray ( née Parker)

You lived on in my father who was named for you, also Arthur Ernest Parker (Mick). Never forgotten!

They say you die twice. One time, when you stop breathing, and a second time, when someone says your name for the last time. Arthur Ernest Parker (Pip) rest in peace and stay alive in the thoughts of your extended family for a long time.

Somewhere in France he is laid to rest His life's work noble done T'was a sacrifice for Liberty Ere life has scarce begun Great great uncle at peace Balleul communal Cemetery Extension. Nord France. R.I.P.

Uncle Arthur I never met you, you were just a small round picture on the family portrait, but you were never forgotten with a poem written on the headstone next to your mum and dad's grave.
