Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 9 May , 2004 Share Posted 9 May , 2004 For some reason I can't access the CWGC website and as I don't have SDGW, please could someone look up the name on a plaque I bought at a car boot this morning. Name is GEORGE HENRY STEEL. Knowing my luck there will be about 12 of them! Many thanks - Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
