Standing in the wind and rain Remembering an ancestor of mine The cemetery situated above the sea Waves crashing along the coastline
A cousin three times removed A brave soldier of the Great War Family to me across a century His resting place now cared for
The tireless work of a local historian The Commonwealth War Graves Commission With the restoration of his stone His service has full recognition
His story could have faded with time But now this soldier has his voice again His history has been brought back to life So generations will speak of him then
Remembered with the dignity That every soldier deserved Sapper William Hart of St Ives His memory forever preserved
