John Shaw Posted 28 October , 2004 Share Posted 28 October , 2004 Visited the site of Major Dickens memorial cross this week, it is missing, the wooden cross has been sawn off at it's base recently. Has any body any information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 28 October , 2004 Admin Share Posted 28 October , 2004 Hi John The Dickens family are replacing the cross witha replica, as the old one is in a poor state. The new cross is being dedicated on Nov 14th at 11 am. the old cross is hopefully going to be placed in Ginchy church. Regards, Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
