Gutted to hear of the passing of Paul(Rick)Buckler. The driving force of the music of my teenage years(and still relevant today!) blessed enough to call him a friend later on.

New film on Netflix. The cemetery scene was filmed in American Battle Monuments Commission Cemetery at Brookwood. Was interesting to see an English summer turned to winter for the filming.

Technically the graves are not listed by the CWGC as these we maintain for other agencies(MoD). I have a list but I’m Out of Office till the New Year now.
