	Sorry for delay got called away . Thanks ever so much folks . The Information I have is was what I scribbled down 14yrs ago in a grotty little notepad. (its just turned up again tonight) I was looking for ancestors graves in the old derelict St Mary`s church cemetery Colston Bassett. (Derelict from about 1900.) The inscription about Alfred Richards was on another persons`s gravestone. It simply said .. To the memory of Alfred Richards Died. 21 Nov 1918 age 21 P.o.W in Germany Thanks again, much apreciated. :-)
