Four RAF war graves (looked after by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission) at St Mary & Corpus Christi Church, Down Hatherly near Gloucester.
The four graves are from World War 2 and are the last resting place of four RAF servicemen.
The only one I can find any information on is the right hand one, which names Squadron Leader R E S Smith DFC, who was killed whilst piloting a Mosquito aircraft which crashed on the 9 Sep 44, just after taking off from RAF Northolt on the outskirts of London.
I went to Nagasaki to see just any movie, for I am an unrepenant cinephile. When I found that the #1 on my must-see list was playing, I was overjoyed. When it turned out to be nearly as good as I had imagined it could be, I was ecstatic.
Monument in a section set aside to remember the sailors that went down with the USS Maine, which went down in Havana Harbor in 1898 in the lead-up to the Spanish American War.

Chiefs captain creates scholarship in honour of Grant Sheridan
Myles Mattila is wearing the ‘C’ as the leader of the Kelowna Chiefs this year.
Off the ice, he’s been an exemplary leader in many facets of life for some time and he’s back at it again with a newly-created scholarship.
The Remembering Grant Sheridan Scholarship honours Grant Sheridan, the former owner of the Chiefs who passed away this summer, and it’ll be available to all KIJHL players.

It’s been created through the MindRight for Athletes Society, another creation of Mattila, and will recognize a player for their hockey commitment, community involvement and academic achievement.
The scholarship will be initiated during the Chiefs’ home opener at Rutland Arena on Friday night and more details about it will become available as the season goes on.
“It is with heavy hearts the Kelowna Chiefs will be playing our home opener in memory of Grant. There will not be a dry eye in the house,” says Mattila.
“Grant was a very special person who will be dearly missed by all. Grant and I had very similar fundamental beliefs in the core values of hockey, education, and community involvement, which included mental health.”
Sheridan presented Mattila with the team’s Scholastic Player of the Year award after the 2017-18 season.
Grandaddy….
I never told you how much I love you. Even as I got older I knew that I should speak the words that I thought…the words that were in my heart
You were the most kind and gentle man I have ever known. I never heard you raise your voice and I never saw you angry. You were a man of few words. Everything under your care was treated with dignity and respect….from the creatures on your farm…serving a purpose…to the grandchildren…like me who only knew that you loved them and would protect them from harm.
These days, as I get older, I find that on a daily basis I retreat back to the house and fields of your farm. I know that this is because these places are now sacred to me…the places that I would feel most content. With your passing…so passed those wonderful places. I now hold these in my memory…in my heart…a refuge from daily stresses of life….
Maybe I will find that just past the gates of heaven along with you…and My Momma…will also be that wonderful place you called home…..a place that to me is Heaven….
