Hi Graham I saw his name on the memorial on Tuesday when I was in Cromford so I was just researching it today when I realised it was 91 years to the day!

As a family history researcher I am keen to find out more and get a photo of him. If any one can help I have a feature on what I know of him and the MGC at: www.brooksfamily.name Regards Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
