8055Bell Posted 1 August , 2023 Share Posted 1 August , 2023 Oldham RBL are holding a ceremony for the dedication of the Manchester Regiment's George Warburton's new CWGC headstone on 3 Sept at 11.30. George's commemoration is a credit to PaulC and IFCP. Edward Whitehead of the Manchesters also received a Special Memorial headstone at Crompton this week and I'm hoping the RBL event can cover both men. Edward was put forward by Manchester Regiment Forum members and is another succesful IFCP case. All welcome to attend. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
