As you can appricate, there was not a lot of room to take Photos / Videos without standing on graves.The first video is the account of RD By John Young. The first person speaking seemed to stand behind the speaker no matter how hard i tryed to get him in the video, as you will see. Hopefully someone else may have obtained bettter footage.

ignore the descendant medals, they are just a momento we had made when we had a trip to the battlefields in 2009. Personally, I wouldn't have them on our display ,but was not involved in the manufacture of them !

I think they look very good, I woundn't mind having one if I was a descendant. Who ever thought of it, had a great idea.

Lovely memento to a very brave man, very fitting. Well done Tim, thanks for all the pictures Admin
On a slightly more tacky note Colin, if CTSG can have one of those descendant's tour medals, I'll have the other! :lol:

Thank you Pete (Admin), great pictures and vids, well done.
Glad the day went well, it looks like it kept fine (for a change).
The descendant's medallions look good, a great keepsake, they are based on the glengarry badge of the 24th (2nd Warwickshire) regiment, (see my Avatar).

Just a quick thank you to all those who contributed to the success of the Howard re-dedication, whether by contributing to the cost of the headstone, help with the planning of the ceremony or simply by turning up on the day; I also very much appreciate the support given to me by the various kind comments posted on the forum & see the success of the day as very much the result of a team effort.
Regards,
Tim
