Peter Bennett Posted 3 March , 2007 Share Posted 3 March , 2007 Florence Hogg currently has no headstone in Horsforth Cemetery, although the CWGC have confirmed that this is on order. I went looking for her on behalf of Jim Strawbridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithchristmas Posted 3 March , 2007 Author Share Posted 3 March , 2007 Peter, Thanks for the photo of the Horsforth memorial. I visited again myself just last weekend. I noticed that there in another entry above for Thomas Hogg. This may have been her brother. He served in the 9th KOYLI, and died on 16/09/1916. Listed as 'missing' in the Leeds Roll of Honour. Interested to learn that Florence grave currently has no headstone. Hopfully this will be resolved in the near future. I was intending to visit Horsforth Cemertery myself. Without the headstone, is it possible to identify her grave? Regards, Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithchristmas Posted 4 March , 2007 Author Share Posted 4 March , 2007 Jim, Just returned from the Leeds Familiy History Centre. Yes, your quite right they are not brother and sister! They may of couse still be related. Thank you for taking the trouble to do the research. I now know that her parents were Albert and Sarah E Hogg. Can anyone help me find out any more with regard to her service as a nurse in the VAD? Is it possible to find out the period of her service and whether this was all spent at the Berrington War Hospital? Kind regards, Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonym Posted 25 April , 2007 Share Posted 25 April , 2007 Peter I have been following the thread and I must thank you for that photo, excellent work Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithchristmas Posted 25 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 25 April , 2007 Peter, Thank you so very much for taking the trouble to including a photograph of Florence' s new headstone. I will make a visit at the wekend to pay my respects. I have recently learnt that after the war, 200 plus trees were planted along Stanhope Drive in Horsfoth. One for everyone listed on the War Memorial. So Florence also has her own tree. Thank you to all the others who have contributed information.
