My Great-Uncle Basil and I share the same middle name 'Fullelove' and we share the same engagement ring that my wife now wears, as it was bequeathed to me by his brother Courtney. Great-Uncle Courtney served with the Royal Ulster Rifles. My Mother and I visited Basil's memorial 5 years ago, and I will be forever grateful to those that died and survived fighting WWI.Thank you to BN for your informative post, and thank you to rutlandremembers.org for this site.By HMF Mogridge on Sunday 8th November '15 at 6:18pm
