Are You Sitting Comfortably Part 2

[dawnsh]

Hello all

I'm just off to lie down in a quiet dark room, but before I go I've had another email this evening from Graham the verger.

Hi Dawn,
Sorry to get in touch again but I have just been reading the story of the
search on the rootschat website. What an incredible search you all have
made. I will bring this matter up with my boss and hopefully we can lift
the stone in a safe manner.Because of the health and safety issues we will
probably seek advice from our local stonemason to handle the stone with the
utmost care.
Sorry to read on one of the earlier threads that I had missed the name in
our records but I cant remember any earlier requests.
I find the story particularly interesting as I have a great interest in WW1
history and have visited the Somme area where Robert was injured on a
couple of occasions.
Once again,well done
Graham

Goodnight all

Dawn

I may have an avenue open to have the stone turned by someone in my nieces contacts who lives in Woolton so watch this space.

Michel
it is a pleasure to be of help in such a lovely story as this one and to be able to see the grave stone of Robert after all this fine work will be wonderful especially if it were put back to its original position of where it once stood.

God Bless you "Our Robert " just know that we're all still thinking of you after 71 years !!

I think no Annie... and she is right...

I still have two or three battalions of brave men to bring in from the cold, as you said...

Cor blimey! I went to bed at page 15 and got up to page 21!!   
A 5' stone!! He was honoured and well loved! My heart did a flip when I read that. I had always crossed my heart that he wouldn't be found in an unmarked grave. 

Annie, Magic, eh!  have you had breakfast yet!

Graham - how wonderful of you, to have become part of this story (and to have read all this - that would have taken more than a minute or two) and to have joined in the spirit of it all .

Michel! A battalion more!?? Uh-oh!!    Perhaps your lovely Sabine may wish to have a holiday in Liverpool now as payment for her patience and understanding- how about this weekend, you could make it for the Service?     

Just thinking, would the Church permit - if it were possible - to have someone attending to either audio tape or video the Rememberance service? As a 'momento' for Michel and Annie?

God Bless!
Cheers (3 of em!)

I am seriously thinking of trying to get there for the service 
Has anyone got the postcode of the church ?
Poll
Thanks Michel... I did eventually work out what you had said ... but I couldn't see for crying too !!

[liverpool annie]

Oh Poll ! 

How wonderful ..... I don't know postcodes any more it USED to be Liverpool 25 !! 

Hope somebody can tell you ... don't think it says on here !!
