208834 Rfm. Felix John Brinn British Army 16th Btn. King's Royal Rifle Corps from:Acton, Middlesex (d.17th Apr 1918) Felix Brinn is the brother of my great-granny, who died aged 21 near Ypres in 1918. He had married Gladys Allen the year before in Barnet. His body was never found and his name is on the Tyne Cot memorial. In 2002 I went on a school trip to Belgium to visit the war graves. Those rows of graves and names on walls really illustrated the huge numbers of people killed and showed us the real lives that had been affected. Our bus driver played the bagpipes whilst our teacher read out the names of our ancestors that had been killed in the war. It was very moving and everyone was crying by the end, because although we were only 14, we had respect for these people who had to cope with unimaginable horrors and we were and still are grateful for the lives we live today.
