johnreed Posted 24 April , 2005 Share Posted 24 April , 2005 Today i walked round St Peter's Church Sandwich, Kent. I found tablet inscribed and a Grave Marker to Major R D Harrison DSO R.F.A. I searched the CWGC site and found no mention of him. Is this one for you Dick. See attached picture John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
