The 'uncle' we never knew
Some members of the Kinsela Family visited Haucourt and found his name on panel 10 where we left the following message in his memory
We have come to remember our great-uncle Mathew. We are your family you never knew. We glorify your bravery and honour your name. And look upon the fields where you were slain. As your body lies still in a foreign land. So your memory lives on in dear 'England'. The Kinsela family.
