Tony Ring Posted 11 September , 2009 Share Posted 11 September , 2009 From time to time I have seen postings where members are looking for a particular plaque, either Death or Memorial. I presume that the NOK of a fallen soldier received a ? plaque with his name on it some stage after his death. Could someone point me to a thread if this is an old topic or post a photograph of one so I know what I should be looking for. If one was issued and then lost is there a provision for a duplicate being obtained. This is in relation to my G/Uncle KIA in 1918. I have obtained copies of his medals and would be interested in obtaining a plaque if they still exist. Thanking you in anticipation. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
