Sapper William ‘Bill’ Hills 1876-1917
My Great, Great Grandfather
“Go tell the Spartans,
Stranger passing by.
That here in accordance to their laws we lie.’
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Now where did I see him mentioned? I know - it was over my way. RIP.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
ReplyDeleteIt was for my Great grandmother for whom I got the infomation, who had privately expressed to me that she would have liked to know where her father was buried and for us to visit.
Sadly she took ill and died quite suddlenly not long after I recieved the letter, whilst we were still in the planning stages.
Many years later I went for the both of us.
