Hello Ian, George Christian Cert was my late Father's older brother.  I'm sorry I don't know where he is buried.  He was known in the family as Tom, I believe.  Do you know any other family members you could ask?  Unfortunately, there aren't many left now.

Hello can you tell me who your dad's name was , as the mum would like to know.

Hi wilkybob
My father Edward Rosebridge was in the NFS and he was killed in West Ham along with a colleague George Cert at a school that had been converted to a station.  I have a couple of copies of newspaper cuttings of the incident with a photo of the coffins and the funeral service programme. If there is anymore information you can get me I would appreciate it, as I live in Qld Australia I can only find out things on the net. I have visited the museum it is very interesting.

Regards Margaret
