    Hi Folks

    Here's a link to a French TV piece about the ceremony in Guillemont a few weeks back to honour the three VC winners (Holland, Hughes & Jones)...one of whom (Thomas Hughes) was my father's uncle.

    Peter,

    My PC doesn't have speakers - which makes it a bit of a challenge to understand the video.

    It's great these brave men are remembered in Guillemont almost a century later. I'm a bit surpised that CSM George Evans of 16th Bttn. Manchester Regiment. George was awarded a VC for his bravery at Guillemont on 31st July 1916.

    Apologies if I have missed the point.

    Tim
