Description
In May 1918, a devastating letter arrived at the Mond family home. It was the notification that their eldest child, Lieutenant Francis Mond, had been killed in action while serving with the Royal Flying Corps. The news came with some comfort - a brave Australian officer had recovered both bodies and given them a grave to visit after the war. However, as time passed, further details about the burial of Lieutenant Mond and his Observer, Lieutenant Edgar Martyn, began to disappear. Despite an initial trail, their graves were lost from view, leaving behind only confusion and unanswered questions. Angela Mond, aged 48 and mother of five children, embarked on a personal quest to find her son, tracing his steps through the battlefields and cemeteries of France, and corresponding with hundreds of French civilians and servicemen.
