In fact I rather think it should be Gunner Bond and that his full name was Harry Bertram Bond. There's probably a village history book about Beeley which would tell us more. It does appear that he was actually buried in Beeley ... rather than in "some corner of a foreign field that is for ever England".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548969874395633339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-82085330593454625032013-06-13T17:30:15.732+01:002013-06-13T17:30:15.732+01:00I'm not totally sure if they are allotments to...I'm not totally sure if they are allotments to be honest Ann.
