  • Grave Marker– I took this image of Ernest Pringle's grave in the summer of 2011. I am a history teacher and have been fortunate to visit my great great uncle's grave a few times with my students that I have taken overseas to visit battlefields of World War One and Two. I was back in April 2012 and July 2015 to visit him and pay my respects.
