    Can you please pass on our gratitude to Graham and his team for the wonderful work that they do restoring these graves.
    Also thanks to you Riaz for highlighting this cemetery on one of your previous videos, we have a connection to a family grave with an inscription to their son who was killed on the first day on the Somme that we researched into.
    We went to visit it after your first video, so thank you so much for all that you do.
    We plan to go back and to tidy the grave up again but the place has difficult terrain.

      @@BradfordThroughTheLens Riaz, You highlighted the cemetery during some research I was doing. The grave is in a bit of a mess not far from the main entrance. The family plot Number is D133. Stead Taylor and Mary Elizabeth Taylor and also George Stead Taylor of the Bradford Pals Killed in action 1st July 1916 aged 19, his body was never found so his name is on the Thiepval Memorial in France (2A 2C 2D) yet his parents added him to a the side stone marking in tribute.

      These Cemeteries definitely deserve to be restored and respected as they were. when first made they also have a place in educating people about the subject of Death and how to respect the different Values this has for all cultures.The Victorians made Death part of life unfortunately most younger people shy away from this fact.

    Excellent work, grave looks 100% better now. One thing though, maybe instead of painting over the lead lettering with paint, maybe just rub patinatious oil over the letters to bring them back to the their original darkness to stand out against the stone. Great video, great work. New subscriber to your channel. Thanks for sharing
