hi folks re my post 1.. yesterday a friend.. myself my son and grandson james ( 3 generation of harringtons) attended the remembrance day service at st michael of all angels church in wales ..we were made so welcome by everyone there and everyone wanted to talk to us about harry...little harry was remembered during the service...we arrived to the news that harrys grave had been located and after the service we were taken to it....have to admit i shed tears at that news...after tea..cake and bicuits we were led to the grave and un beknown to us the church warden had placed evergreen leaves around the grave to mark it out...what a lovey thought this was...we laid down our flowers card and remembrance cross and karen the church warden said after we had gone she would find a vase out and put the flowers in it yet another kind gesture...sure enough true to her word i received an email from karen last night and some photographs of what the grave looked like now...now instead of just a piece of grass it looks more like a proper grave...i know my dad would be very proud to know that after 80 years of being alone his little brother was now having visitors..we are now making plans to have a permanent memorial put in place...if you look at the photograph of the church on post 2 harry is to the right of it overlooking the wonderful peaceful country side...below are some photos...2 of them taken before the flowers were put in a vase..nearly forgot to mention that half way through the service the resident bat came out and started to fly around the church much to the amusement of my grandson james..
