John_Hartley Posted 31 May , 2010 Share Posted 31 May , 2010 The town is pretty much wheelchair friendly as most European places. Obviously some of the "sights" in the surrounding areas could be more taxing. CWGC website is quite good with information about access to individual cemeteries.

sotonmate Posted 1 June , 2010 Share Posted 1 June , 2010 Alan His second number puts him in the 1917 re-numbering of the Territorial Force in the 1/4th Battalion which was in India for most of the war. Sotonmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David B Posted 1 June , 2010 Share Posted 1 June , 2010 Alan, The only info on Ancestry is his medal roll citation, other records not there. Suggest that his record must have been destroyed in 1940 during the Arnside St bombing. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinBattle Posted 2 June , 2010 Share Posted 2 June , 2010 If you start a thread mentioning where you want to visit in August, cemeteries etc, I'm sure the Pals here will give you best advice for easy access by wheelchair/visually impaired etc etc and where to stay or go for best advantage. Don't leave it so long between visits here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
