Sapeur Jason Walker
The cemetery is located in the countryside with a beautiful view of the area around. Standing there on a crisp fall day brought some sense of closure and a little peace. It was hard to believe that it took almost 100 years for one of his family to finally get to visit his resting place. We want to thank the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for the job they do to keep these cemeteries in such good shape and the history accessible to all. "We Will Remember Them" October 31, 2016
