adrian45 Posted 19 November , 2018 Share Posted 19 November , 2018 Finally, the link to the final four casualties whose final resting place was listed as ‘Unknown’ for decades and who are listed within the pages of this Forum. https://www.canadianukgravesww1.co.uk/blog/ Norman David Roberts, at: Fron Cemetery, Llangollen, Denbighshire Thomas Owen Davies, at: St Cadfarch Church, Penegoes, Montgomeryshire Frederick Charles Dakers, at: Penarth Cemetery, Penarth, Glamorganshire James Robert Pullen, at: London Road Cemetery, Reading, Berkshire It is a remarkable achievement that the CWGC have installed the markers for Roberts and Dakers less than 12 months after their final resting place was established. As noted in our Blog, the final resting place for Pullen was established in December 2011, but unavoidable administrative problems delayed the installation of his headstone until 1st November 2018. May they rest in peace. Adrian & Diana The Far from Home project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian45 Posted 6 April , 2020 Share Posted 6 April , 2020 We are pleased to report that the CWGC were able to finally commemorate the following two casualties before the current restrictions were imposed. Joseph Palles Clark at: City of London & Tower Hamlets Cemetery, Mile End, London The final resting place of Staff Sergeant Clark was first notified on 10 March 2014. His name was added to the Memorial Wall on 13 March 2020. Henry Thomas Hobbs at: North Sheen Cemetery, Richmond, Surrey The final resting place of Sapper Hobbs was first notified on 13 September 2018, following the transfer of his file from Ottawa to Maidenhead a few months previously. His CWGC headstone is now in place on Henry’s actual grave site. We have photographs of both commemorations. There is one fascinating picture of the work in progress at Tower Hamlets & City of London. May they both now rest in peace.

adrian45 Posted 20 October , 2021 Share Posted 20 October , 2021 We are actively following up encouraging new leads in our search for two Canadian casualties: Samuel McNeice aka McNiece (died 26 June 1919 at Antrim Road, Ballymena, County Antrim) John Smith born Charles Brown (died 23 September 1920 at Bethnal Green Hospital, 214A Great Cambridge Road, Bethnal Green, London). Samuel and John/Charles were both listed on the original Brookwood WW1 Memorial Wall but still do not have a known final resting place. Every other Canadian shown on that wall has been ‘found’ and commemorated. Adrian & Diana Far From Home project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
