| Vondelpark, Amsterdam. | Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery, Poperinge (Belgium). Headstone of my great grandmother's brother, Gunner George Williams, 5th Battery, 2nd Brigade, Australian Field Artillery. Died of wounds 26 October 1917, aged 24. |

| It is strange to think George Williams died fighting in France/Belgium during the First World War almost 100 years ago, and yet I may well be the first relative to have ever had the opportunity to visit his headstone. | Bruges (Belgium). |
