    No idea, mate. But these lads were up about six o'clock this morning to drive all the way down there to do the job they did and pay their respects.

    Well done lads. Will pay a visit in the next few weeks. Couldn't find the grave last time I visited!

    Yeah it was the same lads as last year. Think they all post(ed) on here. The Supporters Trust funded their trip down this time. You might remember we paid to get the memorial stone etc repaired back in 2008. Gordon Ottershaw, Molly and a few other London Tykes were involved then in tracking down the grave, getting permission to do the work, and generally arranging everything. Probably got a photo of state it was in where they found it somewhere. Paul did a write up for the website somewhere. I think a few others have tried to do a bit of a tidy up in between but its good that these lads are happy to do the annual pilgrimage :D

    Yeah, I remember that, old mate. It's good to see they're determined to maintain the upkeep of the grave and they've made a superb job of it, too.

    Yes please for the maps. I walked on my own through the undergrowth on a summer's afternoon last year, for a long time, but couldn't find it.

    Also awkward to get to from Southfields - it involves a tube then a bus ride.
