Army widow's emotional visit to her baby's grave after a devastating double loss

Army widow Ann Marooth, 70, has visited the German cemetery where her son Michael was buried 50 years after his death, thanks to funding from the Royal British Legion. Michael, who died at just four months old in 1973, was initially denied burial in the UK due to cost, leading to deep personal grief. Ann also experienced a stillbirth during her time with her husband John, a Corporal in the Royal Signals. Her recent visit, accompanied by her surviving son Christopher, brought her a sense of closure. She expressed gratitude for the support from the Royal British Legion and reflected on her decision to let Michael remain in Germany, finding comfort in the peaceful setting.
