To my great-uncle, who gave his life at Bourlon Wood on 30 Nov 1917 and whose legacy will survive forever through his daughter, Sandra Wickes. I hope to be able to meet him someday.

Although I never knew you, you were and will always be a constant presence in my life. Your family spoke of you as a brilliant student, flutist, gifted athlete and someone filled with kindness, curiosity and joy. Requiescat in pace, dear uncle.

Died on March 29, 1942. I read the heartbreaking letters Kenneth's father wrote to my grandmother when their sons were missing in action and they were awaiting word of their fate. Both died. Kenneth was his father’s only remaining child. RIP
