Guest KevinEndon Posted 22 May , 2008 Share Posted 22 May , 2008 We are getting somewhere with these now, well done all those involved. Maybe one day it may be one of mine that comes in from the cold. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 22 May , 2008 Author Share Posted 22 May , 2008 Kevin MoD are working through them alphabetically and so they will come up in batches as done by each volunteer. Your turn will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanCurragh Posted 23 May , 2008 Share Posted 23 May , 2008 Rest in peace, Joseph. It's great to see that the project is bearing fruit. I see that the CWGC website states that Joseph's name will not be added to Tyne Cot immediately - Terry, do you know what the usual time lag is for "new" names to be added?

Terry Denham Posted 23 May , 2008 Author Share Posted 23 May , 2008 Alan It can vary from six months to a couple of years. Obviously, for cost reasons, they try to 'save them up' and do a large batch in one go. On the other hand, they are sometimes done individually. It all depends on circumstances. Generally, I would not expect to see a new name for at least a year - but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
