It will enable others to find relatives commemorated on the memorial. With thanks again David Dr David Biggins The following user(s) said Thank You: BereniceUK

Best wishes David 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.
