Secret North East

Robert Renoldson is finally getting a gravestone and being honoured for his service in the American Civil War, more than a century after his death. The soldier from North Shields is believed to have fought in a significant battle near the end of the war before returning to his hometown, where he died and was buried in an unmarked grave in 1916. Dave Young from the North Shields Heritology Project shares Robert's story with Sam Thomson.
