	Fairclough, Ronald, 15th March 1945, Royal Air Force (VR), 207 Squadron, 191841, Pilot Officer (Flt Engr.), Grandson of Mary Ann Mundy, of Panteg, Pontypool, TREVETHIN (ST.

It took quite a number of hours over two days to find Ronald's grave as he is buried in a family grave that has become very dilapidated and damaged with time. Looking down at his grave I thought to myself, at the going down of the sun and in the morning, whose going to remember you?!!
