NOT FORGOTTEN

Edited 23 February by Terry Denham

[Sal64]

I submitted Henry Oscar Withers a year ago. He is buried in St Mary’s, Bolsterstone close to where I live. Was pleased to receive an email today saying his name has been added to the Roll of Honour. Two of his brothers also  died during the Great War.

[Terry Denham]

Can I ask if you supplied a copy of the burial register at the same time. If yes, it will mean that his grave will be verified by CWGC in due course without undue delay.

[Sal64]

Not at the time, I am going to ask at the church if I can see a copy of the burial records when I go up this week. I’m an EOHO volunteer there. There was a detailed report of his funeral in the local press at the time. Hopefully I wil be able to supply the records soon

[Terry Denham]

Thanks. You may find the registers are kept at the county archives.

 

[Sal64]

Ok, thanks for that. Will let you know 

[Sal64]

I’ve been up to the church today and found the burial record. I’ve sent a copy to CWGC

[Terry Denham]

Well done

[Matlock1418]
