dave ricketts Posted 29 July , 2004 Share Posted 29 July , 2004 I understand, from various sources, that this Church has a large number of memorials, to both individuals and units. Is anyone aware whether there is a list? I've checked their Website, with no luck. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted 29 July , 2004 Share Posted 29 July , 2004 Hi, you could ask this question to the Chaplain: The Reverend Raymond T Jones from St George's Memorial Church Ypres. He is a friend of mine, send him a message to: [deleted by moderator] Best regards Laurent.

Tom Morgan Posted 30 July , 2004 Share Posted 30 July , 2004 There is a catalogue of all the memorials, on the table at the back of the church. Dave, you need to see if someone can get you a copy of this. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave ricketts Posted 2 August , 2004 Author Share Posted 2 August , 2004 Tom, Thanks very much for that information. I am off to Ypres for the first time at the end of the month and I reckon that St. Georges is probably a must-see. Regards, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Hone Posted 4 August , 2004 Share Posted 4 August , 2004 There'll be a new one in October-to the war dead of Bury Grammar School. It's mentioned in the latest edition of the Holt's Guide, but they jumped the gun a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave ricketts Posted 5 August , 2004 Author Share Posted 5 August , 2004 Mark, Was that a diificult thing to organise? I am going before then, so won't have a chance to see it - I will have an excuse to go back again, although I don't need one. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hone Posted 5 August , 2004 Share Posted 5 August , 2004 Dave-not difficult to organise, although the administrative wheels of the C of E grind slow and it took a long time to receive the official approval or 'Faculty' as it is known. Ray Jones and the other people at St Georges have been unfailingly helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave ricketts Posted 9 August , 2004 Author Share Posted 9 August , 2004 Mark, That's good to know. It still amazes me that there is so much goodwill out there in this area. Bob, Cheers for that. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
