Will O'Brien Posted 22 February , 2007 Share Posted 22 February , 2007 Raising a glass to the memory of Ernest. Given he's commemorated at Brookwood, I assume Ernest's actual place of burial is unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Denham Posted 23 February , 2007 Author Share Posted 23 February , 2007 Given he's commemorated at Brookwood, I assume Ernest's actual place of burial is unknown. Will Correct. But that leaves it open for someone to find his grave and get his commemoration moved to the grave site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
