L/CPL James Gavin’s War Grave is in the Rue Petillon Military Cemetery, Fleurbaix in France, but his actual burial place is still Eaton Hill as stated in correspondence with his father James on the 10th October 1925.The CWGC had a limit of 66 letters on the inscription on each headstone.
The first draft sent by my great grandparents, but due to the limit their moving tribute to a loved son was rejected.
” A sorrowing people cried aloud, that they were of their hero proud. He helped to build his country’s name, and died in bringing her to fame.” the family were advised to consider another text that contained fewer letters!
On the 14th July 1925 the suggested alternative was sent
” Though nothing can the loss replace, a dear one taken from our side, Rest In Peace”, unfortunately the R.I.P had to be omitted.
He had four brothers John Joseph (Jack) 2341, Patrick Joseph (Joe), Stephen 3262 and George 1566- all enlisted in the 5th Light Horse in Queensland.
