Hi there,
These are the crosses that I left at the Arboretum in commemoration of my family who have a long history with the military.. Uncle Roger (Dad's brother) lied about his age to be in the war with his brother and he subsequently died aged 18 years.. My Gran and Grandad must have been devastated.
