Cpl H B Carr Colchester Cemetery & Pte. E Carr, Maroc British Cemetery

[warproject]

Hi.

 

Does anyone have a photograph of the grave of Herbert Burrows Carr at Colchester Cemetery.

Also Pte. Edwin Carr at Maroc British Cemetery

 

If not I will purchase it as The British War Graves http://www.britishwargraves.co.uk/ inform me now and over a couple

of years ago that there are not able to assist due to the amount of projects they are helping.

 

T.I.A.

Sandy,

 

Here is Edwin at Maroc (taken in September 2012):

 

 

The sharpness isn't the best I'm afraid.

 

The epitaph reads "In loving memory of my dear son who with many others gave his life for his country"

Sandy,

 

I have added the epitaph to the original post - it isn't all that clear on the stone.

Hi Sandy - sorry to come late to this posting but have only just spotted it. If you still need a headstone photo for H B CARR in Colchester Cemetery I can take one for you. The CWGC are at present renewing headstones in this cemetery so if Carr has already been done it should be a cleancut one compared with the previously weather- worn examples. If interested my e'mail is  rowed14@talktalk.net   Regards

Yes please yeadon.

 

Will be in touch.
