Always like to see any men with a Worcestershire unit or connection. I assume that he has no known grave. I'll check in Watt when I get back home later tonight.

I can't help you out with locating a final resting place for Trooper Walford, but having a look around on the old internet I was able to locate another family memorial to this soldier. It is located at St. Bartholomew's Churchyard, Worcestershire.

Thanks, Trev, great find. Would that be at St Bartholomew's Churchyard, Edgbaston, West Midlands (Warwickshire)? Thomas Joseph Walford died in the King's Norton registration district, which in 1904 included Edgbaston.
