Family photo – This is a picture of Mary Maud Snow (Clarke) Albert's wife, Viola Mae Clarke (finch) Albert's Daughter and Mary Margaret Finch, Albert's grand-daughter. My great great grandmother Mary Maud, received a telegram shortly into the war, saying her husband had been killed in action but she never found out where he was buried. I used this website to find his resting place and made a trip there in 2009. I was very impressed with the level of care given to the graveyards.
