John French Posted 17 June , 2019 Share Posted 17 June , 2019 Does anyone have a high resolution colour phone of Marfaux that we could publish in a (non-profit) book we are preparing, provisionally entitled Chesterfords Heroes. One of the men from our village Private Charles Searle, whose body was never found, is remembered there. He served in the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry - is there any special monument dedicated to that regiment? We will happily attribute any photos used.

Admin Michelle Young Posted 18 June , 2019 Admin Share Posted 18 June , 2019 I will have to look on the laptop hard drive. I can't do it today as I'm doing a weird split shift sort of day. I will have a look tomorrow, and let you know. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 19 June , 2019 Admin Share Posted 19 June , 2019 I have had a root about, these are taken on a variety of cameras over a number of years, the motorbike has remained the same though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John French Posted 20 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 20 June , 2019 Michelle, thanks, I was spoiled for choice. I plan to use the fourth one down, which is good enough to read the names on the gravestones. I will attribute your photo as Michelle Young.

Admin Michelle Young Posted 20 June , 2019 Admin Share Posted 20 June , 2019 Happy to help John, and there's a KOYLI headstone in the photo! 6th photo down shows plot 8 row C but not grave 5, just out of shot, as I got the first 4 in.

David Tattersfield Posted 22 June , 2019 Share Posted 22 June , 2019 Here is a photo of Searles headstone. NB "believed to be" superscript ion. Sorry for brevity, tapping the message on my phone in the cemetery itself! (This is first of 2 images. Slow upload means I'll post second one later) David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Tattersfield Posted 23 June , 2019 Share Posted 23 June , 2019 Here's the other I promised... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John French Posted 24 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 24 June , 2019 David, I did not realise there was a headstone for Private Searle and with your permission I would like to use it, with attribution, in our (non-profit) book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Tattersfield Posted 25 June , 2019 Share Posted 25 June , 2019 Of course you can use the images. You may not be aware but his grave is on the same row as that of this chap who was awarded the VC https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Meikle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
