Renaming Service for Sergeant Leonard Maidment

[micks]

Hi all

On the 20th of August at 14.00hrs there will be a renaming service in Marfaux British Cemetery

for Sergeant Leonard Maidment. He was k.i.a near the village on the 20th July 1918 and buried

as a unknown Sergeant of the Hampshire Regiment.

A few years ago a case was put forward to the MOD and the evidence has recently been excepted.

I will be at the service but I don,t operate a car so I was wondering If anyone else will the attending

and driving from the U.K.

I,m quite willing to assist with the fuel costs.

All the best Mike
