Thank you, Michelle.

If there is any piece of writing which is guaranteed to have me reaching for the tissues, it’s that section of Testament of Youth, the bleakness of recognising that she will never again have ‘that lovely companionship’ and he had never read her poem. That part and the death of Roland.

In accordance with her last wishes, Vera's ashes were scattered over Edwards grave at the cemetery of Granezza in Italy, in September 1970.
