Remembering casualties of a long forgotten war. Royal Marines Light
Infantry buried in a foreign land. In this war there were no deaths due
to enemy fire rather due to disease, drowning and accidental gunshot by
a brother.

Thanks Mike. It's hard for us to imagine I guess, but a long time
ago, the war dead were not transported back home, but buried abroad
as in this case. Harder still is to imagine being a loved one of one
of those that died overseas.
