AlW Posted 12 May , 2011 Share Posted 12 May , 2011 Good morning all. Would it be possible for someone to look up William Ernest Avery for me please in the Tonbridge School and The Great War 1914-1919 book? Also, does anyone know if the school has a war memorial and if they do - is he on it? Regards Alan W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rflory Posted 12 May , 2011 Share Posted 12 May , 2011 I cannot find William Ernest Avery in any of the Tonbridge School registers or in Tonbridge School and the Great War 914-1919. Dick Flory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peridot Posted 12 May , 2011 Share Posted 12 May , 2011 Hello Alan I would think it very likely that the school has some form of memorial and probably an archive/archivist. Might be worth visiting their website. Good luck Peridot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COEURDELION87 Posted 8 March , 2013 Share Posted 8 March , 2013 I know that Tonbridge School has the names of the WW1 kia at the entrance to the Chapel. However you should be aware that the original chapel burnt down a few years ago but I believe the stone showing all the kia has been suitably renovated as a new Chapel was rebuilt at some great cost. If you're still looking for Avery can I suggest you contact the school archivist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
