Dear Forum

I think we would all applaud the forthcoming rededications of the headstones of two Rorke's Drift defenders - i.e. James Marshall and William Partridge. How many members realise though, that many RD defenders lie in completely unmarked graves? Surely we should all find this unacceptable, particularly at a point in time when we are supposed to be honouring our present-day heroes!

A trawl through that other excellent website, KEYNSHAM LIGHT HORSE, will reveal just how many RD defenders rest in unrecognised graves.

What can we do about this intolerable situation? Any ideas out there?

Regards
