I stopped off near Ypres (Belgium) to take these photographs on my way back from Holland: He was the brother of Norman Manley and fell in the 3rd Battle of Ypres. I have just realised that the three graves I have photographed are all Jamaica College Old Boys and their names appear on the memorial at the school. http://picasaweb.google.com/mcgregor44/JamaicanAtYpres?authkey=Gv1sRgCPOJpZeovu3SNg&feat=directlink
Thank you so much for doing this Rory. It is a good reminder that many West Indians died on those European battlefields. Wonderful work you are doing. I shall try and pass this information on to Michael's daughter, Rachel, in case she's not aware of it, unless you are already in touch with her.
