Had another stroll through Hove cemetery with the “Jack” this afternoon. Found some more interesting monuments, take a look.
Found this Tomb: The inscriptions are hard to read (zoom in, maybe you can see better) He was a French Noble! As far as I can make out, his stone reads; “Charles Augustus Vicomte Pinon Du Clos De Valmer”, The Last of His Race. The inscription goes on and on and makes interesting reading…
Charles Augustus Vicomte Pinon Du Clos De Valmer, Family Crest…
A family Monument, a family history. On this monument, I found a sad read about a lad who died in the African Campaign and is remembered on this stone. My Great Grand Father served in the same campaign in a different regiment! and was featured in BBC documentaries in the 60’s, one of the last surviving solders of that campaign. “Boer War”.
A brave young man…
Hove Cemetery. Opened 1882 by Henry Hawkes.
Just thought, the last picture should be colour, as it was a glorious afternoon…
