Edward Henry's Story
It seems strange that Edward was killed 91 years ago, but I am only 57. When I tell people my uncle was killed in WW1 they say "surely you mean WW2". I think it was very hard for my father to accept that his brother was never found, and has no grave. Like thousands of others he is remembered on the Menin gate memorial.
