Photo of Lawrence Abbott
The picture came to me after my parents passed away and we could never put a name to it until today when a cousin let me know that we had a great uncle that it buried at Vimy Ridge. The date of his death corresponds with a notation my grandmother ,sister-in-law to Lawrence Edgar Abbott, had made in a little booklet she had kept between 1916 and the early 70.s. -
