Day Trip to Cambridge

The day we went to Cambridge.....we caught the train, my first trip as a senior on British Rail.  John still doesn't tire of saying "and 2 Seniors tickets please" and then smiling at me. Bastard.

We arrived and decided the Hop on Hop off bus would be just the job. Easy on the old legs, full of information with the commentary and you get to see a lot of the city.

One of the stops was the Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial. Opened in 1956 this commemorates the American serviceman who died or went missing in WWII

The cemetery contains 3809 headstones and is laid out with the utmost precision.

 There is also an inscribed  Wall of the Missing, which includes the name of : Miller - Alton G. aka Glen Miller of music fame with his big band. Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK is also buried here.

It was a moving trip, so much so we missed 2 buses.
