I have Muriel Annie BELCHER, VAD, died 30th September 1914 The list shows her sister's, Dora and Evelyn BELCHER but not Muriel. Doris and Ellen ROOKE, VADs were both casualties and are on the list. The Mrs Rooke shown could have been their mother although I cannot see a BRCS record card. Indeed, I cannot find a BRCS record card for any of the Chippenham Rookes. I cannot see a connection with the Miss M. Rooke but I am sure that there is one. A sister, Phyllis Mabel Rooke, may have gone under her second initial. Lilian Annie STEVENS, VAD, is there as Mrs A. Stevens and I have found her recorded elsewhere as Mrs A. Stevens so she obviously went under her second name of Annie amongst family and friends. The age of 43 corresponds with Lilian's age at death in November 1918. Find My Past states that she is buried in St. Pauls cemetery but a search has not found her. Another look under the name of Annie may reveal her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Evans Posted 27 December , 2016 Share Posted 27 December , 2016 Jim, Thanks to CGM's directions, I found the Glass grave today, despite the sun directly in my eyes. It was a bit bigger than I was expecting. I have some more shots, including the name panel, which I will send to you. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 27 December , 2016 Share Posted 27 December , 2016 Jim- Do you have a MARY ILEENE HACK, died on 9th December 1918. Her small metal grave marker in the churchyard of St.Mary's. Wanstead, in the east of London, lists her as VAD and ASC. She was a nurse at a local military hospital-by implication Highams- then,after her health broke down, she became a driver of sorts for ASC. She is not on WGC (yet) but is in De Ruvigny. If yes, I'nip round and take a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, yes, I would like to see what you have found, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Evans Posted 28 December , 2016 Share Posted 28 December , 2016 Jim, Email sent with the Dropbox link. In case anyone else has an interest in the memorial, I have attached a photo of the named panel. Although the memorial stands over two graves, there appear to be additional names on it.
