The Courier promised to send a reporter and photographer to the grave site yesterday for the commemoration service. Not sure if they turned up.
Nice to see we got a mention in the write up. I've been liaising with JS for quite a while about this one. Job done and a big well done.
Time to move on to the next one.

My days of wielding a shovel are long gone. I'll scrub up the odd stone, but mainly I just do the finding and leave the donkey work to the steam Gunners.

The Courier did turn up on Sunday and wrote a decent report on it. What was particularly pleasing for me was that family members had read last Friday's article and they turned up as well. NIVA got a good punt from them too, highlighting the work we do on the gravewatch.
Again, well done to all.
