Quarantine at Stangate Creek River Medway. The Story of Sidney Bernard & why we should remember him

It's a misty morning on the marshes and somewhere out there is the grave of 27 year old Sidney Bernard, a ship's surgeon, who died under tragic circumstances 178 years ago on 9th October 1845.  Not far from where he lies are hundreds of other unmarked graves. By telling the story of these men and women we can shine a light on them.

We visited this area at the end of September to ensure we did not disturb any breeding birds.  Permission should always be sought to venture here, and no locations are given away in this video. I have consulted various sources of information for this video and thanks goes out to all of them.  

Thank you for watching.  Comments welcome.
