It is so heart-warming to read that John Angus is being remembered by the people of Dunedin as we approach the 100th anniversary of the Armistice. Would you be able to share a photograph of John Angus's cross with our committee? If so, you can e-mail the image to: brucefrancismacdonald@gmail.com .

It is a sobering experience as you wander through the many hundreds of them. Some names tend to stand out due to family similarities. I have seen one for John Angus McNeil and, although he does not seem to be related, I have spent some time looking at his records and exploring other site to find out something about him. He will not be forgotten. Laurie McNeill, Dunedin, NZAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277368392921435556noreply@blogger.com
