The long walk home.

WW1 John Markham 142609, walking home · 6 November 2018
My great uncle, John Markham, service no.142609 was in WW1, in the 62nd Bn Machine Gun Corps. Unfortunately he died from his wounds just days before the war ended. He is buried in Doullons cemetry no.2, Nr Amiens, France.
As a way of doing something to honour the men that died, I am planning to make the journey so many of them didn't get to make. The Journey Home.
I am raising money for Help for Heroes, to help the heroes of this generation and their families to rebuild their lives at the point when they need it most.
For those who give the ultimate sacrifice, we support you.
