Comments on: “The Grave Looked So Miserable” http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/history/2013/01/the-grave-looked-so-miserable/ History with all the interesting bits left in Wed, 22 May 2013 17:36:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4 By: Christine Anderton http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/history/2013/01/the-grave-looked-so-miserable/#comment-3241 Christine Anderton Sat, 09 Mar 2013 06:48:10 +0000 http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/history/?p=9859#comment-3241 The young soldiers grave that was so tenderly cared for is my great grand uncle James Idle. My great grandmother Bertha was his sister, who also died young in 1916. I cannot thank Marjorie Dolman enough for the love she showed him all those years and am pleased that she now lies near 'her soldier'. Thank you so much for the article above and on my next journey to UK I will make sure I place flowers on Marjories grave as a thankyou.

Everyone's life tells a story. Some are exaggerated, some, documented, others, left for only loved ones to remember. The beauty is, someone remembered! Thanks for always a good read!
