Forgotten War Graves in a Suffolk Churchyard | The Quiet Cost of WWII uncovers the deeply human stories behind three Commonwealth war graves at Carlton Colville (St. Peter) Churchyard, near Lowestoft, Suffolk. These aren’t the graves of generals or decorated heroes—they’re the final resting places of everyday men who gave everything.
Meet Deck Hand Leonard Claud Chase, a Royal Navy veteran who survived the Battle of Jutland only to be killed in WWII when his converted fishing trawler struck a mine. Learn about Marine William Ward Hall, a young Royal Marine who died in hospital days before D-Day—his war ended by illness, not bullets. And discover the story of Sergeant Ernest Samuel Frostwick, a RAF Wireless Operator/Air Gunner who perished in a training accident aboard a Bristol Blenheim over Buckinghamshire.
Set in a quiet Suffolk village, these stories remind us that war’s cost isn’t only counted in major battles. Perfect for those interested in the Royal Air Force, Royal Marines, Merchant Navy, WW1 and WW2 history, and the military heritage of Carlton Colville, this video gives voice to the fallen—whose graves lie far from fame, but not forgotten.
