David_Underdown Posted 3 November , 2014 Share Posted 3 November , 2014 Belatedly remembering here Walter Eric Markey and Alfred Bashford, the first two members of the Surrey Assoicaiton of Church Bell Ringers to die in the war. Markey with 1/QUEENS at Gheluvelt on 31 October 1914, Bashford aboard HMS Good Hope at Coronel on 1 November 1914. The centenary of Bashford's death was marked with a quarter peal at Nutfield. his home tower, just as his death was a century ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
