This is a fascinating piece of history, but I think they should have respected it as a piece of someone’s grave site.
From the article, it seems his body was found and the violin went to his fiance at the time and was subsequently found in the attic of a home in England in 2006. Didn’t say whether the home belonged to a relative of his family or fiance
“Robinson never married and after her death in 1939, her sister donated the violin to her local Salvation Army band, where it passed to a music teacher and then the unnamed owner in whose house it was discovered in Lancashire, northwest England.”
Was He Still Strapped to It ?
