My Daughter and I recently visited the Roman Catholic Cemetery in Happy Valley to place flowers and a photograph of my late wife at her fathers grave. It must be about 12 yrs since my late wife and I visited but it was the first time for my daughter. My father in law Michael Francis O'Sullivan was buried there in 1960.

When on shore he would stay at the Merchant Navy Officers club.
