You are my paternal grandfather. Of course you never knew me, but I will address my thoughts to you.

 I only found you here a few years ago. My father your son, also Robert, never spoke of you but I have pieced together some of your histories. Did he know that you were buried here?

  I believe you knew little of your son. In the 1930's he made his way from Ireland and he then had a lifetime career in the RAF and survived the second war serving in Burma and elsewhere. He was a good man. He married my mother during that war and you have five grandchildren by them of which I am one.

You also have many great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. Five of them are my grandchildren and  three now live here on Tyneside. So you have a big family.

So pleased to have found you. Your grandson,

Robert Kevin Yarrow
