Great Great Uncle Jack



Our first cemetery visit was to White House Cemetery, a small cemetery within the town. There we were able to easily find Great Great Uncle John Robinson Woods' grave, set close by some of his fellow soldiers and his Lieutenant. We paid our respects and left a remembrance cross on his grave. As we were leaving the Commonwealth War Graves staff were coming to mow the cemetery, which was needed. There were few poppies in sight (not their season) but most of the cemeteries have permitted plantings of roses and other perennials which keep them looking beautiful. At each cemetery and memorial that you visit here, you sign in and leave your address and comments. A nice touch.
