    Hi to everybody who has taken the time to share these wonderful things about my Great Grandfather, I cannot thank you enough.
    It is the very first photo I have ever seen of him and cannot wait to show other members of my family.
    The Markwell side of my family is a bit of an enigma as when we try to research Markwell there is not a lot of imformation out there.
    I look forward to looking further into this page and finding out more about the Florian and of those poor souls that also lost their lives along side Edward.

    Kindest regards
    Tracy
