On this special anniversary of 100 years since the end of WW1 thank you for remembering Benjamin Haizelden. He is a family member of mine on my Mother’s side. We are a large family but many of us remember older relatives who spoke about ‘Uncle Ben’ who never returned.
God grant his soul eternal rest.

Remembering Great Uncle Ben Haizelden.
We visited his grave in Daours, France just 100 years and a few days after his death, which occurred on 30th August 1918.
His name is also on the National Westminster Bank Memorial at Princes Street, London. (near Bank Tube station)
