I stopped to look at 2 Australian war graves
cemeteries near Amiens, France and found three Sinclair boys who didn't make it
home during world war 1. I was very impressed to see the condition that the two
sites were in. They are still beautifully maintained by the commonwealth war
graves commission some eighty years after the war. Do any of these boys belong
to you??
