chrisharley9 Posted 15 August , 2009 Author Share Posted 15 August , 2009 The latest update as of 14th August 2009 40 graves now found subject to approval by CWGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted 15 August , 2009 Share Posted 15 August , 2009 It is great that 40 have now been found, but how many were there to start with? I presume that all the panels will have to be replaced, or, if you are successful in finding evry one in the memorial, it could be taken away altogether!

chrisharley9 Posted 15 August , 2009 Author Share Posted 15 August , 2009 Bruce The Brookwood 1914-18 memorial will never be redundant as several of the casualties were lost at sea - in the case of one of the Canadians he was cremated & his ashes were given to his wife. Total on the memorial at present is 363. The problem im meeting is the very high charges some local authorities charge for searches - in one case £30 per name. One very good result was Southampton Old Cemetery were not only did I find the man I was looking for, but also found a non commemorated airman.

chrisharley9 Posted 24 August , 2009 Author Share Posted 24 August , 2009 Now I knew this was going to happen - the number of successes will now fall off into single figures per week Reasons: A large number of the casualties are from the London area - Im at a loss sometimes where to start with the London cemeteries so I dont have a clue which cemetery served what area. If there is anyone knowledgeable about a certain area of London who is prepared to have a look at my info & suggest places to look I would love to hear from you. I even prepared to travel down to London to meet up with anyone prepared to help. I can even push the boat for a pie & a pint. A large number of my enquiries have met with an astonishing wall of silence - not even an acknowledgment Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
