WO1 Hastings is one of our graves in Gloucester; it's a nice private headstone in the Cremation part of Coleford Cemetry; sadly I think it is only me and the wife; and our offline member in Gloucester who visit.

I know you do Phil and I'm sure he appreciates it.
As you know, one of the many reasons for starting the gravewatch was so that graves like his do get visited.

Ironic to think of the dagers we faced over there and then to die in a plane crash,like our 'rosey" Gnr Rose who survived 71 tour of Belfast to be killed in an RTA near Lydd in 72, we will remember them.
