  • It is a privilege to recognize and remember the service and sacrifice of a young man. While a hundred years have past it remains important that we remember the risks he/ they took and the price he/they paid for the benefit of us all. Henry "Harry" is a relative I have only recently learned about. If any family member, relative or person with knowledge of Henry wished to make contact with me I would be very pleased to hear from them. [email protected]
