      Why are there so many free Hatton graveyards in the South? Here's run for your Robert, What do you want time your headstone or an epitaph. Maybe it should read here lies a great historian preserving the past for those who cannot speak no more. Rambling thoughts in my head at the end of the day.

    Love the things they used to write on old tombstones. One I will never forget;" Think of this as you pass by, as you are now so once was I. As I am now, you too shall be. Lord pray my friends to follow me."

    Love your video's, so interesting, great to see Robert and Codey with you, can't believe how many places have these graves/headstone and field markers, so interesting though. Loved the family name of this one, bless them, terrible that they have been abandoned though, love it when you uncover them and read them out, thank you for yet another amazing video. (UK)

    What is missing from all those veterans in that cemetery is their flags that usually are decorating them for their service. Maybe someone watching from your area will reach and contact the local VFW or American Legion to see if they can get some flags on those graves.

    • @beyoutifulworks8090
      @beyoutifulworks8090 3 роки тому +9

      That is a great idea! maybe Sidesteppers could keep a record of the military stones and have a volunteer group with the VFW to go into the areas and place the flags. Keeping these places as secrets might be important so the mean people from the public doesn't destroy them. I know it happens because a group of haters destroyed some old history in the California desert

    All of you explorers need a backpack you keep in your car that has certain things in it that you may need when you go out exploring abandoned houses and or cemeteries . Flashlights , batteries . Clippers , small broom , water , but spray , gloves and anything else that may be necessary .

  • @cedriaking1488
    @cedriaking1488 3 роки тому +15

    Robert, by looking up names, this is Ogletree Cemetery, in Stovall, GA on Findagrave, lists birth and death for each person but no photos of any headstones. No count given of any others buried there but the GA archives might have more info. Hope this helps!

    I like to think,"found once more" when you all happen upon a lost one. I truly believe Jesus won't be long in returning...I watch for Him everyday to take His children home. We must keep in mind as we go through each day ,tomorrow isn't promised. Bless y'all for the remembrances of those that have gone before. I have very few relatives still living,I can understand how these places get little care. It takes a village to raise a child...it takes a community to care for the resting places of our dead.

      I confirm it.. I live in Italy and I was born here, any Italian cemetery is abandoned , for me to see these videos is very strange and anusual .. also sad. When I saw on these graves the words “gone but not forgotten” it’s not true .. honestly my opinion

    • @bluestarchronicles

    As usual, another cemetery found, you never cease to amaze me. I hope people who watch, are finding someone they may be related to. There is much rich history just waiting to be discovered, it brings the dead back to life, and the living, their lost families. It certainly also brings attention to the need for clean ups in these forgotten cemeteries. Thank you Robert I, Robert II, and Cody. Glad to see Robert II back in his famous, bright yellow shirt.

    He died in between Operation Market Garden and the Battle of the Bugle. Strange that they have his stone standing up when it is suppose to be lying down flat. He possibly died while transporting supplies in what was know as the "Red Ball Express".

    The 3117th Quartermaster Service Company was a Black unit stationed in Huyton, Lancashire, England. A Quartermaster Service Company would provide general labor or provide guards for POWs performing general labor. After D-Day, Liverpool was the primary port of departure for German POWs being sent back to the US. Pvt Williams could have been anything from a general laborer to a prison guard to a company driver to a cook.

I found out that the name of this cemetery was called the Ogletree Cemetery, in Stovall Georgia, Meriwether County, is there ANY way to get still pictures of the headstones that you found, to put on Find a Grave, for all those listed??

    Cpl (T5) Maynard L Ogletree was a well traveled young man. The 641st Port Company (6419 is probably a transcription error) arrived in England August 1,1944 and spent the rest of the war in Europe loading/unloading ships in and around the Port of Hull, helping send the beans, bullets and bombs to the front. August 2, 1945, they left the ETO for the PTO to support the anticipated invasion of Japan. They arrived in the Philippines Sept 12th, a month after the war ended (and 10 days after the peace accords were signed). They finally returned home sometime in early 1946. He didn't sail around the world but darn sure saw a lot of different sky.
