Howard Davis Park, Jersey, Channel Islands - Part Two
We followed the path along to the War Graves. In front of us lay two groups of graves. The graves represent Servicemen who died during the Second World War. Some individuals were named, others were not. These were men whose bodies were recovered during the War and were buried within the confines of the park with the respect they deserved. They were cared for in death by the population of an Island that was inhabited from 1940 by the German Army. Yet, despite those tough times, the local population wanted those individuals to be remembered. Over the next few posts I will post photographs of all the graves represented here.
