  • The first gravestone in the video is that of my Grandfather Ernest Brocklehurst Pte 37047 Lancashire Fusiliers.Whilst serving in France he was shot in the shoulder.He was eventually sent back to England because of trench feet.On his return both feet were amputated,soon after the operation complications set in and he passed away.He left a son 18 months old(my father)and a heavily pregnant wife.Esther would give birth to a little girl, she would be called Jesse.Re-United as a family... x
