We never knew Bertie. He died in 1917 leaving a pregnant widow and a three year old son. (my grandad). We have visited the grave in Wimereux to pay our respects. His other son Bert was born a few months after his death and he managed to visit his father's grave before he died. Bertie, we may not have known you but your children remembered you with pride. Your grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren will always remember you and think of your sacrifice. Never forgotten. x
