Shorncliffe Military Cemetery Kent
« on: Monday 02 June 08 20:38 BST (UK) »


Casaguidi kindly found this picture of Carlos Acurcio/Acardio's headstone

Shorncliffe Military Cemetery, Kent
- Corlos Acurcio (20.02.18)

http://www.btinternet.com/~james.fanning/jenner1/page2.html

But it's really hard to see any detail and I wondered if there was anybody lived close by who could tell us what it says !!

Thanking you in advance

Annie  :)

Annie, you could try posting on the Photo Restoration board, after seeing what they did with this  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,305937.0.html
I'm sure they could help. It's worth a try to see what they say.

Hi Annie
I live down the road and can pop in and have a look for you. Give us a couple of days for the ground to dry out as last time I went I got stuck in the mud. I will keep you posted.

1917- 1918
CAPRI
CARLOS ACURCIO
179-5TH COMP/2ND GRART GUARNICAO
MORTO PELA PATRIA
