On this day in 1893, Wilfred Owen was born, the soldier & war poet who sadly lost his life one week before the armistice in 1918. On our Road of Remembrance in 2018, we visited many sites of significance - #LestWeForget #OTD #CWGC

Final piece of the puzzle, thanks to a local authority. Off now to convince the #CWGC that a soldier who was classed as a deserter needs to be recognised. 20 years service. Awarded MM. Took his own life in 1941. NOT recognised by #CWGC. Needs to be changed and headstone erected.
