Admin DavidOwen Posted 24 August , 2018 Admin Share Posted 24 August , 2018 Could the roll be similar to this one at the IWM? https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1500046123 it is listed as a "leaflet" (no image there unfortunately) (Also seems the Farmer family from there had 5 sons in service https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205026085) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob carman Posted 24 August , 2018 Share Posted 24 August , 2018 John, I made a note in 2015 that The Mercury had republished the 1000 faces images and although I have tried to locate more up to date news, I never made any progress. Today I saw your post and within ten minutes I had downloaded a pdf. Thank you. Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
