In 1964 I was a junior reporter on the local newspaper, Staffordshire Advertiser. I was contacted by a New Zealander first world war veteran (whose name I have sadly forgotten). Together we drove up onto Cannock Chase and after a bit of searching, he found the dog's grave which was fairly overgrown.
I did a story on this for the paper, and following that, the County Council took up the matter and cleared and made the gravesite tidy.
Just thought I'd say this, in case anybody knows who that ex-soldier was.
