Patmobile Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 My mother, age 90, just rang me, very excited, to tell me she had seen a photo of her favourite uncle, Jack Goode, on TV. He was one of the young officers of the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry, in a picture shown on Breakfast News relating to the WW1 mass grave at Fromelles.My Great Uncle Jack a charming and generous man, survived the war and was one of my 2 favourite uncles. I once made a trip through northern France with him as he pointed out some of the places where he had been in the trenches. I now live not much more than an hour's drive from Froyelles where many of his friends and colleagues in that photo must have died.Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
