SilverSoldier Posted 20 May , 2006 Share Posted 20 May , 2006 Hello Tony. Would you like photographs of this Chaps Grave, Cemetary, Register Page? I shall be in that vicinity last week of June. Regards. Terry W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Lund Posted 20 May , 2006 Author Share Posted 20 May , 2006 Thanks, I thought I had all the information on Lewis Hirst a long time ago, but now I find there were two of them from opposite ends of the district. With regards to photographs of his grave and the cemetery, I have been thinking for a while that some sort of memorial website would be a good idea, and whatever photographs I can get will be useful for that. So if you could get one of his grave and perhaps the cemetery that would be excellent. Thanks, Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
