Terry Denham Posted 8 February , 2004 Share Posted 8 February , 2004 The following casualty has just been accepted by the MoD for CWGC listing. Once again I post the name below to encourage others to continue their researches. Even though having a casualty accepted is not always easy, it can be done and it is certainly worthwhile. Sapper Frederick Gravett REED Deal/S/5370 Royal Marine Divisional Engineers Died 27.06.17 Buried in Eastbourne (Ocklynge) Cemetery, Sussex Remembered at last. I am just back from visiting his grave and can report that it is in good condition. Photo tomorrow when I can retrieve the camera cable from my son! Well done to the researchers on this one. (This was not one of mine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hartley Posted 8 February , 2004 Share Posted 8 February , 2004 Terry Congrats. Just wondered - is it coincidence that there have been several in the last couple of weeks? Or do CWGC/MoD do "batch approvals"? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted 8 February , 2004 Share Posted 8 February , 2004 John Just an aside...what a cracking little website you've created. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 8 February , 2004 Author Share Posted 8 February , 2004 John Applications are dealt with as they arise. The only thing that has changed in the past few weeks is that I, belatedly, thought it would be a good idea to tell Pals of the successes people were having as an encouragement!

John_Hartley Posted 10 February , 2004 Share Posted 10 February , 2004 Andy Many thanks, mate. Inspired by the Northallerton project, I think there is now a growing band of brothers and sisters doing similar community remembrance projects. It takes the whole business a stage further than just identifying the men. If we know who they were and how they died, we can remember real people - not just names carved in the stone. Speaking of the sisters - have you checked out SueL's site. I never pass up an opportunity to advertise it! There's also a pretty new one "Malvern Remembers". Very classy design. Terry - thanks - thought that would be the case. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
