Agenville Church, Somme, FranceThis is what the church looked like when Henry Tredwell was buried there. It was bombed in WW2 and later rebuilt. The picture is from a postcard given to Henry's sister Louise by a friend who served with him and told her where his remains were laid. His Commonwealth War Grave has been visited in the church graveyard.
