| Outstanding both of you. From a small newspaper report tucked away and forgotten in an archive he is now brought back to life and recognised along with his AZW mates on the forum. Great stuff However what is REALLY REALLY interesting to me is part of the inscription on the stone. Can either of you guess what it might be? |
