Brookwood Military Cemetery in Surrey, England, is the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the United Kingdom. Within it lies the remains of 446 Australians killed during both world wars including 95 from the Second World War. The story of one of those men, Private Eric Richard Schiele, begins in Germany, extends all the way to the Mallee in Victoria, and ends tragically in England during the Second World War.
