Last month Year 5 pupils from St John's Walham Green in Munster Road visited the cemetery to learn about World War One. FCF member Rebecca sent the school 4 short biographies of young WW1 casualties, which have now been added to the website: flying ace John Henry McNeaney, kite balloon officer Sydney George Shead, Jane Bradley who served with Queen Mary's Auxiliary Army Corps, and William George John Parker, of the London Cyclists Battalion, and later the Tank Corps.
The children sketched the insignias on the graves, and also designed their own insignias. They had a good time and we had good feedback from the parents too.
