Hi Bob,

My relation James Donald Pead died of disease whilst a Prisoner of War of the Ottoman Turks on 30th July 1916. He is commemorated on the Basra Memorial in Iraq on Panel 60.

Do you have a photograph of panel 60 with James Pead's name on it ?? I would be eternally grateful.

many thanks
John

Would you have photos of these panels? I’d be so grateful if you could share these with me. 
 

Thanks a million,

Hello Bob

I've just joined the forum. I'm researching WW1 soldiers on a memorial in Stockport and saw this thread and thought I'd ask if you had a photo of a particular panel of the Basra Memorial

His name is James Kirkham - 8th Battalion Cheshire Regiment it says he panel 14 + 62

I'd appreciate it if you had a photo of his name - grateful thanks in advance

Many Thanks

Janet

Welcome to the GWF Janet,

You may not know this, but the Basra Memorial is in a very bad state of repair. Bob Pike might have a better image but here is one for starters (I may even have got it from Bob).

You have been a great help before I was wondering if you had any photos of the following, still  researching WW1 soldiers on a memorial in Stockport 

Lance Corporal Frederick Brown has his name on the Basra Memorial - 6th Battalion Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment - Panel 7

Many Thanks
