Iain David Posted 20 September , 2022 Share Posted 20 September , 2022 Hi Alan My Great Uncle Fred Emberton, was buried there and then moved to Cabaret Rouge. I have a faded copy of a sketch that was sent to my great grandmother. He died around the same time. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
