Plot D. Row 11. Grave 24: Uncle Hugh's burial location, expressed with impressive though slightly chilling precision by the War Graves Commission. The rest of the address is Ameland General Cemetery, The Netherlands. Hugh was an RAF Flying Officer, service number 129140 and was killed in action on 20 September 1943 at the age of 27. Today is Remembrance Day. The human appitite for - and easy recourse to - violence horrifies me. We see it lurking in vitually everyone. We must acknowledge it in ourselves if maturing beyond it is to be at all possible.
