Hi Phil,

I have come upon your post a bit late in the day- sorry! Do you still need Weaste doing? If so I can probably go next weekend for you. I also have some of the walls at Southern and St Josephs.

Let me know anyway.

Hi Phil,

Had to do some remedial work on William Heywoods grave as it is in danger of falling forward.

Hi Migky,

Is that just the standard war grave ones or private ones also. This was a private one, if it includes them I will give them a ring.

Midmum / Migky, my understanding is that it only applies to CWGC graves, and not family headstones or memorials,  I recently identified a headstone of a South Lancs man from Wigan who was murdered as a POW, his name was Culshaw, and his headstone had said Gulshaw for the last 65 years.

The CWGC are currently in the process of replacing the headstone.

ps, Midmum, Pm sent with contact details.

Migky, still in the process of writing something up for the Manchesters website.

Hi Phil, my apologies i should have made my self clearer. I should have said that the CWGC will only maintain any war graves they have erected and own.
So if any one on there travels finds any CWGC headstone that are broke/damaged or fallen over, they should contact the phone number above and report them.
