A huge thank you to you all, I have just come home from my local cemetery, taking photographs as usual for orders, and called over to the BENNETT grave and saw Charles A. Bennett details again. I have forwarded the photograph of the headstone to family, I can imagine their surprise when seeing the name. they will be delighted.. I did email the Embassy in Wellington the other day. still waiting for a response, same day I subscribed to this list. but will write them a letter. More official that way. Now my cousin was visiting South Africa the other year, looking for an ancestors grave, but I said to him, bet there isn't a headstone, so will find out where he went, as our ancestors were Benedictine Monks from Ampleforth Monastery in Yorkshire, not all entered the Order, or my cousin and I would not be here today, the name is PENTONY. I visited Ampleforth on my return home in 2004.. lovely place.. Know Norfolk very well.seeing one of the subscribers from there.. am ex South Londoner.. So a huge thank you once again. I don't think Charles Bennett was in Boer War.. but time will tell. is the Steve Watt from British War Graves by chance, as I have sent them lots of military photographs from this region in NZ. Adele Pentony-Graham Clareville. NZ
Steve is a retired teacher and the author of "In Memoriam". He does have a connection with the British War Graves Commission.
