Inland of the RAF Donna Nook "air weapons range" is the Village of North Somercotes where my Great Uncle's War Grave is in the Village Cemetery. Pte Hallett died in Louth Red Cross Hospital on Armistice day. His family had been to the hospital earlier in the day and the nurses explained that he had been told the War was over and that he wouldn't have to go back. That evening, at peace, he died. His death wasn't certified until the following day as there was no doctor at the hospital overnight. As the guns fell silent and the nation was celebrating, the atmosphere in Bishopthorpe Lodge, Tetney, will have been somber.
100 years later Bertie's family will be at the North Somercotes War memorial for the village's memorial service and will then lay crosses/wreaths on Bertie's war grave. I'm sure many of you have overflown the North Somercotes Parish Cemetery (or been very close). If you use RAF Donna Nook, remember Bertie who is now At Rest
