In Response To: Re: Found - G R Kirby WW1 ()

Very many thanks for your reply. We did fairly well finding out basic info. on all those listed on our memorial although someone took over & the "book " has pages of stuff about cemeteries & I would

have preferred more about the men.For example Liz & Jackie took a photo of Jack Brown's grave in K Braddan & this is in MY file I donated yet the CWGC photo of KB new church has been put in

& the CWGC photo of DBC military plot has been included while our RAF WW2 man was buried fortunately nearby privately.[ Full military funeral] I understood Hector Duff WW2 veteran was responsible for

upkeep of memorials--a remarkable chap. Noble's Library has a wonderful collection of donated photos of casualties [once on display] & MNH aware but I wish they were safe in MNH archives in controlled

surroundings.
