William Hodgson’s Grave : February 2015

United Kingdom correspondent Tony Catesby and his wife Andrena renewed their wedding vows while visiting Saint Peter’s in 2013 and were taken by the memorial window to Pilot Officer William Henry Hodgson. When they returned home they visited Safron Waldon and sent these photographs of the church and the military section of the local cemetery, where Hodgson is buried.

The full story is told in the February 2015 edition of The Rock.
