L/Cpl. Samuel Devennie
British Army 5th Btn. Highland Light Infantry
from:Glasgow
(d.30th Dec 1944)
My Uncle Samuel Devennie, after whom I was named, is buried in Brunsuum War Cemetery in the Netherlands. This is a small War cemetery adjoined to a civil
cemetery. There are approximately 350 allied soldiers there. Since visiting his grave I have been in contact with a Mr Ruud Scholten who is a member of a group of local people who tend to all the Allied soldiers. Mr Scholten is currently building a dossier on any of the soldiers buried there who he can get information about. I have sent him a picture of my uncle for their records. He e-mails me regularly with information and pictures of the ceremonies they have for the boys who didn't come home.
