Hett65 Posted 30 March , 2007 Share Posted 30 March , 2007 John Could you possibly send me photographs of the following men on the Chatham Naval Memorial. Edward Fry HUNTER died 5.6.1916 on HMS Hampshire, he is on Panel 20, he was a Durham County Constabulary policeman. Thomas Joseph Cuthbert KAVANAGH KIA 22.9.1914 on HMS Aboukir John SHAW KIA 22.9.1914 on HMS Aboukir Both these men are on Panel 2 and were Newcastle firemen. Rowlandson Hardy SHOTTON KIA 15.10.1914 on HMS Hawke, he was a River Wear Watch policeman, he is on Panel 1. Ralph Philip SMITH Died 18.1.1918 when HMT Gambri hit a mine in North Sea. He was a South Shields policeman, he is on Panel 31. I know there are a few, but it is a long way from Durham to get the photos. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hett65 Posted 31 March , 2007 Share Posted 31 March , 2007 John I added the information to this forum then sent an e-mail to you which somehow does not appear to have arrived at the correct destination. I have sent another e-mail to you through the GWF, which will give you my e-mail address. Hope it gets to you this time. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
