Hey Steve,

 

Thanks for posting, my great Great Uncle John Allen Taylor is mentioned above, going to visit his grave this weekend given its the centenary of  his death..

I hope you liked the cemetery as much as I did.A quiet place overlooking the valley and the hills they died trying to take  I wanted to visit for 100th but sadly could not make it.  I did though lay a wreath on November 11th, in memory of all my men.
