Harold is my great great uncle. He was from Skenfrith in Monmouthshire and was 19 years old at the time of his death. We visited his grave for the first time on 27th November 2016, 100 years to the day that he lost his life, and we were struck by the number of cemeteries, graves and memorials we saw driving through the French countryside.

We returned to his grave in 2017 with his Somme 100 poppy pin, which I am now the proud custodian of.
