Paying respects
The seven graves (two RCAF, five RAF) at the Forest Cemetary in Falkenberg has been decorated every year at All Saints Day since 1954 by the local Lions Club in Falkenberg. One member, Stig Ringstrom (born 1913) has been participating every year since than. (The photo is from 2009) Sparkes' grave is left outside. An unknown keeps putting a Canadian flag on it. -
