Berenice,

That's a fabulous addition to the site. It is great that you have transcribed the names too. It will enable others to find relatives commemorated on the memorial.

With thanks again
David

Berenice,

I searched the papers last night for mention of when the plaque was erected but sadly nothing made it to the papers I can access online.

Best wishes

I'll try phoning round next week, there's bound to be a regimental historian somewhere. The regiment (now part of the Royal Anglian Regiment) may be able to help.
