After the Anzac Day ceremonies we travelled north to the interesting cemetery of La Chapelette British and Indian Cemetery. Kimberley reflected on the idea that William Brotherton reminded her of her brother both physically and and at the same stage of life.
The cemetery that Kimberley took us to contains the graves of Indian workers , both Hindu and Muslim, who were involved in the war in such a way that it cost them their lives. The Empire angle of the war is ripe for investigation, in other cemeteries we have found the Chinese labourers and Burmese coolies.
