              Hi TW. I don't know a great deal about their deaths unfortunately. I think looking at the timeframe that Uncle Tom Erskine was killed in the defence of Kut in Mesopotamia. Uncle Harry Dobson was killed in France about the time of the Ludendorff offensive which started 21st March 1918 centering on the Third Army. I do know thaat he'd been in France for about a week.

                        Unfortuanatly, No one has really learnt anything from their sacrifices, I am not picking any one war going on now, just the fact that mankind is still butchering each other in the name of something or other

THAT MARK OUR PLACE AND IN THE SKY THE LARKS STIIL DO BRAVELY FLY.
