Named at last

 This is my great-uncle Charlie, whom I never met, but whose sword and medals are still in the family. I have seen his name on the Thiepval Memorial, commemorating those who died but whose bodies were never found, but it was never put on the war memorial in his native village of Whittington, Staffordshire. Now, with cost shared with Big Sister, that has changed. One of these days I'll go and see.
