Thanks.  Richard Hildreth's grave reference is I.A.37.  It is in the bottom corner of the cemetery close to the entrance.  Give his headstone a tap and let him know I continue to remember.

Hi Michelle,
Just got back. Gave Ernie a gentle tap on his headstone and said Hi. It was rather busy the day we went, but then again I expect Tyne Cot is always busy as it is such a large cemetery.
