barkalotloudly Posted 23 October , 2014 Share Posted 23 October , 2014 not sure how easy to gain access as this is in the battle area and very limited opening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGM Posted 23 October , 2014 Share Posted 23 October , 2014 I have a very few from Ilford. Who do you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temptage Posted 23 October , 2014 Author Share Posted 23 October , 2014 not sure how easy to gain access as this is in the battle area and very limited opening I was completely unaware of the modern day locality of it. It could be a problem, but I have read that the MOD do allow people to visit graves at all 4 of the Churches within the battle zone. As I type this I am trying to find a contact for the local camp. I have a very few from Ilford. Who do you need? Please check my first post. I have now edited it to include the individual names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted 23 October , 2014 Share Posted 23 October , 2014 Temptage Charles Cross in Scunthorpe Cemetery was originally in the Chums and was wounded on 1st July 1916 at La Boiselle, but he had transferred to the 1st lincs with whom he was serving when he contracted the illness that killed him. The cemetery is no longer a cemetery and only contains a few token headstones in each corner of what is now a park. The 7 CWGC names are on a plaque in the centre of the park, and I do not think (but stand to be corrected) Cross has had his name added yet.

temptage Posted 23 October , 2014 Author Share Posted 23 October , 2014 Chris, thanks for that. I did actually visit the 'green space' in the week before he was accepted by the CWGC, to photograph the panel with the 7 names on. I know he wasnt serving with the 10th when he died but I am looking for all men who served with the 10th at some point. I may contact the CWGC to see what their intentions are regarding the adding of his name. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BereniceUK Posted 24 October , 2014 Share Posted 24 October , 2014 I have a short list of men buried in the UK that I would like a photograph of his headstone if anyone can help. Shropshire Wall (St John) Churchyard Private Alfred Victor Craddock - north-west of Church porch Staffordshire? I have a photo of the headstone but not a very good one. Can't remember if that's because the stone was worn or because of my photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeClarke Posted 24 October , 2014 Share Posted 24 October , 2014 Berenice has reminded me, I have one from here. Strangely, mine isnt too brilliant, either Have sent you a copy by e-mail Rrgards, Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGM Posted 24 October , 2014 Share Posted 24 October , 2014 Essex Ilford Cemetery Private Charles Powell - plot 2913 I'm afraid I haven't got Charles POWELL. I visited the cemetery to locate the position of an unmarked grave for the IFCP and I will just check to see if the CWGC have marked the grave yet. If so, I will visit both graves to take a photograph. CGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunsilk Posted 24 October , 2014 Share Posted 24 October , 2014 Thomas Walton I'll do that one. Do you want the church memorial as well? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temptage Posted 24 October , 2014 Author Share Posted 24 October , 2014 Staffordshire? I have a photo of the headstone but not a very good one. Can't remember if that's because the stone was worn or because of my photography. Of course I meant Staffordshire. I was just seeing how observant people are lol. Graeme has sent me his photo, but if you still want to send yours I would appreciate it. Berenice has reminded me, I have one from here. Strangely, mine isnt too brilliant, either Have sent you a copy by e-mail Rrgards, Graeme Email received thank you. No photo looks very clear when looking at it in its reduced viewing size, but zoom in and it is very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fearing that nobody lived up that way and that one would go un-photographed but you have proved me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
