WW2 South Lancashire Burials - Manchester

[Paul-44]

Hi Phil,

Did you get the photo's of the last three men?
  ROBERT ERIC KAY, 3656893
  CLIFFORD SUTCLIFFE, 3663135
  ERNEST PATRICK LYONS, 3450235

I was down at Philips Park and popped into Droylsden and took their photos if you still need them two.

My grandad was in the South Lancs and I have a photo of him in the Montgomery Club in 1945, and a group photo of about 100 men, I assumed that was taken after the war.

Just Checked my photos & dads & I dont have this one, think it was one of the ones we couldnt figure out on the map.
Did you get the others I sent you? the Crem memorial ones etc?

Hi Gaille, good to hear from you again.  If Im honest I dont remember receiving them, but have 100's of emails to deal with.

Do you still have them?

P

[Gaille]

Yes, I still have them all filed away.
I'll get the lists out and see which i did & re-send them.

From memory I think  we did:

St Gabriels in Middleton
Boarshaw
Shaw
Royton
Heywood
And Rochdale (but I know I didnt get all of Rochdales cos I couldnt figure out where some of the Plots were)

Gaille

[englandphil]

Gaille, I got everything, with the exception of any from Rochdale

P

[Gaille]

ok

I'll re-do them & send them.

When the weather improves I'll go & hunt out the missing one from Rochdale ........... its been too wet to even go out today!
