From my book Polo and the Great War. As a polo player he gained a fair reputation,
being one of the successful Oxford team 1901, and appeared subsequently at the London
Clubs and in County polo occasionally. His weight, however, was somewhat against him, and he
took up breeding.

I've written something. It's about returned crosses, ghost cemeteries and the missing. Please do take a look.

He never could go home. So this little partial grave marker is making the journey home for him. Found by myself in a field at Courcelette some years ago. Earlier this year I made contact miraculously with his living relatives in Montreal, Canada. More.....

Remembering Norman. KIA on this day in 1916. A little part of him got home and is now lovingly cared for by his family. He is at Regina Trench Cemetery near where he fell on 8/10/1916.

We are so pleased to see Private Goddard’s grave marker returning from Canada. We will certainly give it a very good home.

This has blown my mind. It’s taken over 6 months and quite a lot of Canadian dollars, but Private Goddard is back in Blighty, and will soon be finishing the final leg of his journey to @GreatWarHuts where he can rest again. Thanks especially to Gary Blakeley for his work on this.

Thanks also to everyone who donated to help both acquire this and get it shipped. We more or less managed to cover everything, I think I had to stump up an extra 20 quid to pay customs, but it’s been worth every drop of sweat.

It’s a nice thought that a project about returned crosses has resulted in one being returned to Britain. I circle completed.
