Arthur's Story

No memories as I did not know my great uncle. I only have stories that my Nan told me. (She was the the youngest daughter of 13 children and she lost three of her brothers in the 1st world war).

I went to visit Arthur Silvester's grave in Cambrin on the 10th of November 2008. Very special and emotional moment knowing that one of my ancestors gave up his life so that we could all be free. I was the second visitor to his grave.
