SteveB Posted 15 July , 2012 Share Posted 15 July , 2012 Hi, If anyone is in the Wisbech area, would you be able to help me with a photograph of the War memorial in the Post Office please? I'm particularly looking for a photo of the name Percy Reginald Kimmons. Grateful for any help that can be offered. Cheers SteveB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenboy1959 Posted 16 July , 2012 Share Posted 16 July , 2012 Good morning everyone, Does anybody have any photo's of 325753- CSM Harry Betts MC DCM & Bar ? He was a cousin of my Grandfather. I recently went to see his grave at Beacon Cemetary, Sailly - Laurette. France. A picture of him would be really splendid. With many thanks in anticipation Paul Betts. Norfolk.

Guest Posted 16 July , 2012 Share Posted 16 July , 2012 I think this is your Grandfather. http://wisbechcommunityforum.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/tonights-blog-moves-few-miles-away-from.html There is probably much more on him on the internet?

CarylW Posted 16 July , 2012 Share Posted 16 July , 2012 Hi Paul There is a member here with the user name of 'HarryBettsMCDCM'. Any relation of yours? Surely too much of a co-incidence and maybe he will have more information He may not spot this, if he comes in because the name of the person you're interested in, isn't in the subject line but if you look through the members list and find him, I think you have now made enough posts to be able to send him a Private Message (Edit: I tried to send him a message pointing out this thread to him, but this came up 'The member HarryBettsMCDCM cannot receive any new messages', maybe his box is full. You could always edit the subject line to include the name Harry Betts and he may spot it) Caryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenboy1959 Posted 16 July , 2012 Share Posted 16 July , 2012 Hi Caryl, Many thanks for that information - I will give it a try ! - The person with his user name must be a closer relative than I ! Best Wishes Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 16 July , 2012 Share Posted 16 July , 2012 I don't think Roger (HarryBettsMCDCM) is a relative, but I suspect he knows more about him than anybody else! Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 19 July , 2012 Share Posted 19 July , 2012 Certainly not a relative but I have lived in the same Village as HB did and along with Cliff Brown and others have been researching this heroic Fenland lad for the past twenty five or so years, I did many years ago have several conversations with Harry's Late Brother. who lived in March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
