Len Trim Posted 26 May , 2007 Share Posted 26 May , 2007 Hi, Walking through my local graveyard in Fife, this evening I spotted a memorial in the form of a Celtic Cross to the above man. He died 4th October 1917 and I wondered if it was in action anywhere. Anyone know? Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Trim Posted 27 May , 2007 Author Share Posted 27 May , 2007 Thank you all very much for the information. As usual I am staggered by the depth of knowledge shown in the responses. Our local graveyard is now unused. The council occasionally cut the grass other than that it is abandoned as is our man's memorial. Makes you think Best of luck with the book Dom.
