George Hanlon's war grave mystery

To mark the centenary of the start of the First World War in 2014, the 麻豆社 has started an ambitious project to find and record over a thousand stories across the country linked to where we live.

Private George Hanlon served in the war and is buried in Jersey, but has a direct link to the Isle of Wight.

Just over a year ago, someone known only by her first name left flowers and a note on his grave which read - "Dear great Grand Dad, We have found you at last. From Rosie (Isle of Wight)".

Well that note intrigued 麻豆社 Radio Jersey's Chris Rayner, as Neil Sackley reports.
