  • I have no personal connection with George but I stood today in front of his gravestone on a beautiful sunny day in Le Quesnoy, I was delighted to find a photograph of him on the internet and simply want to say that George and fine young men like him are not forgotten. I had my young twin sons with me and I hope they also recognised the sacrifices made on their behalf.
