Can you give me a rough idea where the grave lies
So I can take a look at how the headstone is postioned

The verger hasn't been specific yet, 'it's near the main path' is as much as I've got so far.

As well as or instead of the British Legion what about the South Lancashire Regiment?

 I think thats where the 6th Rifles, Kings Liverpool Regiment merged with.

They must have some strapping lads  :o

I'm at home tomorrow if you would like some phone calls made, but if anyone else wants to step forward, please feel free.

Dawn

Dawn ... you have been terrific ! ....

but can I ask if you would mind being the spokesperson with Graham ...... so he's not inundated dealing with too many people ??

How many of look for graves and headstone and don't find them and maybe we pass them unturned

Can't agree more Elizabeth .......  brings a whole new meaning to "leave no stone un-turned"  :P sorry

Dawn,

Annie's right you seem to have "hit the right note with Graham" it would be great if you could keep it going. 

If other calls have to be made to other folks.....Annie, knows where I am  ;)

That is so exciting ;D Well done to everybody involved, what a story ;D Beats Saving Private Ryan into a cocked hat. When's the film being made ;D

If I can help in anyway let me know. I have links with an environmental charity in Liverpool who do landscaping and the like. I might be able to enlist their help.

Well done again, all of you, and I'm just so sorry not to have watched this news unfold

Very best wishes

Tony

p.s. now that you have all got some free time on your hands could you have a look for.................. ;D ;D

LOL tony  ;D but we have not completed the quest .......... YET

Here is a link to (hopefully) page 1 of the original thread which is now locked but is Liverpool Annie's original post (with photo).  - you are looking for page 1
