Choccy,

Your help is brilliant...do you know my Aunt, Charles William Moore who dies in 2004 widow lives in Gillingham...I will tell her to visit her husband's Uncle's Percy' grave in her home town. That is very touching. In fact quite spooky.
I am deeply grateful to you for this.

I ctoo can visit this grave as I am in Hampshire.- next door county!
