I visited your grave with my father, Charles William Turland, 53rd Worcestershire Yeomanry. Our visit was very sad as you were one of dad's best friends and he was with you when you were killed and helped bury you. We have a photo of 211 Battery (which is in Pegasus Museum) My father is standing behind you and has since joined you in heaven. He lost an arm in Normandy. I will always remember you. RIP.
