| Video Discription | In this video, Kevin Hicks takes you on a tour of the Cannock Chase War Cemetery in Staffordshire, England. In his unique style Kevin tells some of the hidden stories from the cemetery and explains how German and Allied soldiers, including many from New Zealand, have come to be buried side by side. Then just a short walk away, down the hill, explore the German War Cemetery, the final resting place for almost 5,000 German soldiers who lost their lives during the two World Wars. NOTE: we discovered after filming this video the identity of the photograph we found. Rifleman William Anderson, born in Glasgow 1897, he emigrated to New Zealand as a young boy, enlisted in the New Zealand Rifle Brigade and embarked for the UK in May 1918. Died of pneumonia in the Cannock Chase Military Hospital on 31st October 1918. He is interred in the Cannock Chase War Cemetery.
