The lost cemetery

Send us Fan MailOur journey today begins at Berkshire Cemetery Extension near Ploegsteert Wood, home of a stunning memorial to the missing, and two magnificent stone lions guarding the entrance in allegorical perfection.  We hear the story of a short-sighted 2nd Lt whose father pulled strings to get his son a commission and look at the tragic death of a New Zealand chemist who lies buried in the cemetery.But it's the graves in Plots II and III that grab our attention.  The 457 men who lie buried in these two plots came from elsewhere.  Where did they come from? We discover a tale of obstinancy, political machinations, and a tale where the line between legality and morality becomes very blurred indeed. https://www.patreon.com/footstepsofthefallenhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/footstepsblog
