Flier Posted 6 April Share Posted 6 April This officer is buried in a churchyard in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, his place of birth and family home. I’m sorry that the photo does not display his year of death which was 1970. It is a screenshot from a video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
