My daughter Hannah (13) visited Tyne Cot in November 2016 as part of a Battlefields trip with her school based in Gosport, England.  She came across E Grant's gravestone and was so taken by the inscription that she took a photo and when she came home, showed it to my husband and I saying that she wanted to go back and lay flowers at the graveside.  This we duly did in the February half term holiday of 2017 and used this trip to also pay my respects to my great uncle who is buried at Heverlee having been shot down in WWII. My son James (17) also came with us and the four of us stood at E Grant's grave and laid a red rose and a cross and shed a few tears thinking of how his mother must have felt losing her son so many miles away and not being able to have closure. That visit will always remain with us and sincerely hope that his family members will see that he has not been forgotten. On leaving E Grant's grave, we were some what confused as to why his full name wasn't displayed.  On our return to England we did some research and a lady at the CWGC said that the 'returns' form from his widow did not have his full name entered so she suggested we look at the 'Library and Archives Canada' database.  This we duly did and now know his name to be Edwin.  We have written back to the CWGC and they have now updated their database to show his full name and in years to come, when the gravestone needs replacing, the inscription will show his full name.  To find more details about Edwin and see his military records lookup: http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/first-world-war/personnel-records/Pages/item.aspx?IdNumber=429315 (here you can view and download his Digitized service file in PDF format)
