Vadencourt British Cemetery, Maissemy Grave Reference: III A 39 In Memoriam published 7th April 1919 in the Nottingham Evening Post: “DEERING. – Daniel M. Deering, killed in action April 6th, [sic] 1917. The rolling stream of life rolls on, and still the vacant chair recalls the love, the smile, the face of him who once sat there. We cannot clasp thy hand, dear one, thy face we cannot see, but let this little token show we still remember thee. – From his loving wife [Ada] and children.” Research by Peter Gillings
