This is a photo of Ross Clifford Thompson. A war Hero who died in October 1944 at The Slag on the Schelde in The Netherlands. My parents adopted this grave in the early 1950's and now that they are deceased, we, as their children, carry on the adoption. We also have contacts with relatives of this brave young man.
