    Interesting Grave Stones.

    My brother and I found this gravestone in the old St. Seirols churchyard in Holyhead. We think maybe it's father (RWF) and son. That the mother was expecting when the father was killed during the first world war, then the son died during the second. The younger man's gravestone states he was an instructor for the Royal Air Force. He was 25 when he died. The odd thing is both died on the 20th of the month, one month apart. Somebody obviously had the stones (and I hope bodies) returned to Holyhead. It's a very thought provoking scene.

    The closeness of the gravestones speaks volumes.
