    3. An interesting half page writeup appeared in our local newspaper January 3rd in regard to members of the military who deceased in Wales while in camp following the end of WW1. I'm copying the first three paragraphs in order to give a brief explanation of what is described in the article. "Tourists visiting an historic church in Wales will now be able to use their smartphones to learn the history behind the more than 80 Canadian war graves that line the church yard. The graves, located outside St.Margaret's Church in Bodelwyddan, which attracts thousands of visitors, are now marked with QR codes. When a tourist scans the code with a smartphone camera, it will automatically download an information package detailing the history behind the graves " The writer is Sheena Goodyear. Her article was written for the Sunmedia newspaper chain. Listers interested in reading more of her report can contact her by eMail .... sheena.goodyear@sunmedia.ca A colour photograph, measuring 9 inches x 6 inches, of a section of the gravesite is included in the article. I am forwarding this mail to the Staffordshire and Yorkshire lists, to which I am subscribed, as I believe there are many Canadians similarly subscribed.. I am not subbed to the Wales lists, ( although I do have cousins in Colwyn Bay ) and would ask that a lister who is subscribed please to send on. Thank you and cheers, James. .
