    Re: Visit.

    Hello Comrades..

    I have been to Haverfordwest.
    We had a cup of tea and a chat with Mrs Alston..
    Grahams mum.
    I did pay my respects at my comrades last resting place..
    Very poignant it was to..

    I am very annoyed at the fact that Mrs Alston tells me she received none of Grahams personal things.
    Now I KNOW he did have these things as I was the one that packed his gear after that very sad day..in 1973..

    ? who would I talk to..

    ? were did they go.....

    ? Any one have the answer..

    Please Please help If you can..

    Just a thought. Get the mother to apply for his service record. The kit document might be in there. Worth a go!
