Guest Posted 6 September , 2010 Share Posted 6 September , 2010 I have some pics of a very dusty memorial as my great uncle is commemorated on Panel 34 and a member was kind enough to send them to me. If you want me to send them to your email address, let me know. I am currently on a laptop and the pics are on my home pc.

BillyH Posted 14 November , 2012 Share Posted 14 November , 2012 Mike, I haven't got what you want i'm afraid, but as mentioned previously British War Graves might be able to help you. Out of interest though, although much of the memorial is in a good state of repair some of it isn't. The attached photo is of a panel for the Royal Garrison Artillery (I think) and there are several more like this. Regards, BillyH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Evans Posted 26 November , 2012 Share Posted 26 November , 2012 Here is a photo from Rememberance Day, 2012. As you can see clearly, the years have taken their toll. I will post other pics shortly, and will have most of the plaques taken in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clive_hughes Posted 27 November , 2012 Share Posted 27 November , 2012 Two numbers (some way apart) for a regiment usually means that there are extra names on an "Addenda" panel at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
