My own personal piece of World War One

[lizziec]

no1typo, my mamma, just got back from her holiday in Yorkshire with the news that I had two great uncles who died in World War One. Wow. I never knew that!

I found their records on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission online database and here they are:

Fred Widdowson who died in 1915 near Arras, and Arthur Widdowson who died in Northern France just 10 days before the end of the war.

It's kinda cool, kinda sad. I keep thinking about their family. Having one die so close to the armistace just makes it so much more bitter.

They were your grandmother's uncle's. Their sister, Rose Annie Widdowson Turner was my mum's mum
