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. :-)
