grantowi Posted 13 July , 2011 Share Posted 13 July , 2011 Just come across this thread, missed it first time. The first two Mr Packer and Mr Pitt were two that lie in my local cemetery but have no marker. They were both GWR men. I am very surprised that the CWGC didnt get back in touch to inform me that they had both been accepted for inclusion in the Roll of Honour, but hey ho, result RIP lads Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
