28th Feb we visited the Tyne Cot World War 1 memorial near Ypres in Belgium, where a relative from my mum's side of the family is commemorated. We weren't able to find a named grave, but we were able to find his name listed on one of at least 162 stone panels and an unnamed soldier headstone for the Northumberland Fusiliers.
Joseph Sidney Brady died on 22nd October 1917. A beautiful but bitterly cold day. Hard to comprehend how it would have been to be here just over 100 years ago.
