WW2 South Lancashire Burials - Manchester

I am currently compiling a Roll of Honour relating to the men who served with the South Lancashire Regiment during WW2, but were killed or died on active service.

Overall, I have over 1,500 names of which I know have photographs of over 900 headstones.

Hi Phil,

I have already done almost all of the war graves in Failsworth Cemetery last year while I was doing some for the Manchester Regiment, Dad I I were enjoying hunting out the war graves so we carried on & did the other regiments too.

I will gladly do any at Chadderton & Royton Cemeteries for you when the weather improves, if you would like to send me the details Dad & I will get them as soon as we can.
(If St Gabriels is the one by the Station at Middleton Junction I may be able to do that one too, my sister lives by there)

I may already have some done at Phillips Park too, I did quite a few last year but not in any ordered form, I just saw some by a family plot & started photographing whichever I saw as i walked around.

Let me know which names you need at Failsworth & Phillips park & I will see if I have them for you.

OK, I definatly have Norman Carter at Failsworth, hes ticked off on my list.

At Phillips Park I am pretty sure I have Thomas Rafael Johnson, I seem to remember wondering why a Durham Light Infanryman was buried in Manchester.
I also think I have William Deakin, I think they were actually very close together.

My Hard Drive is curently at the computer shop (hopefully) being repaired, it crashed a few weeks ago & I had to have a new one. I will check them properly for you when it comes back
