At 11:00 on 11 Nov 1918, the guns fell silent. Pte Bertie Hallett was in Louth Hospital, he had been casevac'd from the battlefields. The Nurses told him the the war was over and he wouldn't "have to go back".
Later that evening, 95 years ago, Bertie died, at peace with the knowledge his fiends were safe. As the sun goes down tonight, remember Bertie, my Great Uncle, who gave his life in the Great War.
His war-grave is in North Somercotes Parish Cemetery, some of will you fly within a few hundred meters on every bombing/strafing run at Donna Nook.
RIP Pte Bertie Hallett 1898 - 1918
