Southampton Cemetery September 2010

Eighteen of us attended the Southampton Old Cemetery walk with Geoff our guide who had a wide knowledge of all the famous and infamous who ended up up in the graveyard. From an Argentina dictator Gen Juan de Rosa since taken back home after the Falkland war, only his vault remains. To Lt Col Hewett who was the last survivor at the turn of the century of the battle of Waterloo. We saw the decaying stone memorial of the upturned boat of the man who thought of the idea that lifeboats could be placed over the paddle wheel arch. The weather was kind to us and the sun came out, an enjoyable and interesting morning.
