seaJane Posted 1 July , 2013 Share Posted 1 July , 2013 I can do Somerton, Somerset if you don't mind waiting a week or so - PM me with details. Is it the church graveyard or the town cemetery? I already have photos of the town memorial somewhere if that is any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithmroberts Posted 3 July , 2013 Share Posted 3 July , 2013 Just visited Highland Road Cemetery in Portsmouth to record the two graves requested from there. It is an interesting place, with no less than 7 VC holders buried there, all awarded under the great queen. Portsmouth's other remaining cemeteries also have holders of that award, two in Milton Cemetery, and one in Kingston Cemetery. Another VC Holder was buried in a pauper's grave in cemetery that was destroyed and now lies beneath the commercial docks. Only one of these was a Great War award, Cpl Sidney James Day in Milton Cemetery. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaJane Posted 6 July , 2013 Share Posted 6 July , 2013 Got P Norris at Somerton, let me know where to send it (will be Monday). By the way, CWGC is misleading, graves are in the town cemetery (half mile away by car), not in the church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGM Posted 15 July , 2013 Share Posted 15 July , 2013 Brookwood UK 1914-1918 Memorial: Sapper Alfred Ernest BATE on the Addenda Panel [possibly too early as he was 'brought in' last year] Hello Diane, It is still too early I'm afraid. The existing memorial has no new names and I think will remain like this now. BATE should be on the new memorial but this is not in place yet.

Bardess Posted 15 July , 2013 Author Share Posted 15 July , 2013 Hi CGM I sort of had a feeling that he wouldn't be on there but thank you for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverforget Posted 21 July , 2013 Share Posted 21 July , 2013 (edited) Hi Diane. Sorry about the delay, been doing some punishing shifts just lately. Just got back from Brandwood End cemetery, and St. Peter`s in Harborne. Great success with Isaac Newton at Brandwood, But less so I`m afraid at St.Peter`s. The only special memorial that I could find at St. Peter`s was one to men from Harborne. There was only one Davis on there, and it appears to be a B.Davis. No sign of G.Davis. Perhaps there is another memorial inside the church, or somewhere else in the grounds that I could not see, and I will contact the church tomorrow to try to find out. Meanwhile, here are the pictures I did get ( if I can manage to upload them here that is! ) If I don`t manage it, please send me a P.M. and I will send them to you that way. Let me know who you are looking for at Lodge Hill, and Quinton Church cemetery, and I`ll have a go at them next. Best wishes...Steve.

neverforget Posted 21 July , 2013 Share Posted 21 July , 2013 Diane. I see that only one of the above pictures has uploaded correctly. Please send me a P.M. and I will send you them via e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverforget Posted 21 July , 2013 Share Posted 21 July , 2013 (edited) I`ll try once more to get to grips with this uploading. Any tips would be most welcome as I`m sure I`m doing it wrong. Edited 21 July , 2013 by neverforget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverforget Posted 21 July , 2013 Share Posted 21 July , 2013 Still no good. For some reason I appear to be losing the right hand side of the page. Looks like I`ll have to e-mail them after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardess Posted 21 July , 2013 Author Share Posted 21 July , 2013 Hi Steve, PM sent and thanks so much for the headstone of I NEWTON. I would ask the Mods to delete post 68 and 69 as, until you've posted 100 times, your pic posting has a cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverforget Posted 21 July , 2013 Share Posted 21 July , 2013 Thanks, will do. Actually, I`ve just noticed that if you click on the three pictures that haven`t uploaded properly, they open up and you do get the full image after all. E-mail on the way in any case.

AlanCurragh Posted 21 July , 2013 Share Posted 21 July , 2013 I'm a bit puzzled - there are requests and reports to delete various posts and photos - and some threads have been editted already. I'm only accessing the forum on my phone at the moment - users can edit their own posts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
