David Thomas's Story

My great great grandparents waited for their beloved son to come home on leave, bath run, only for the knock on the door to be his officer informing them he had been killed in action.

Our uncle Tom beloved son of David and Mary sadly missed by his sister Rose. In Flanders Fields his poppy grows.
