They gave us everything, while we gave little in return; at least we can remember them and pass that immortality down through the generations.

Pvt. Robert Cocker 1891-1916

 

Pvt. William J Davies 1894-1916

 

Pvt. Alfred J Marks 1898-1918

 

Just three of my ancestors I've discovered through researching family history. All died in the Great War, the first had only been in action for a week before his death, the last one was just 19 when he signed up and was killed two weeks before the Armistice. All so young, all so brave and all so tragic.

 

We will remember them all.
