PopT Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hi Dean 1 I do not know the reference number but the grave is easy to find. It has a white military headstone same as the one's you see in France etc. If you enter the cemetery from the Scott Road entrance, go forward and take the first right roadway. There is a 90* bend turning left at the top. The grave is about the 4th row from the roadway and about 25yds before you reach the bend on the right hand side of the roadway as you travel up the incline. The headstone is in very good condition with a clear inscription. The inscription is exactly how I wrote it on the earlier entry on this posting. I hope you find it OK. Happy Days!

TheRedWizard Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi Dean, I was chatting in local studies yesterday and was shown a wonderful scrapbook with hundreds of the Sheffield men who died detailed in there, from the original newspaper reports. It was waiting for someone - I guess this may be you; if not, it would be a great addition to your research. All the best, Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean1 Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi Red, yeah, the book is for me ! i 'discovered' this scrapbook months ago, and have been refering to it over the weeks. the main interest in it is the photograph of Arnold Loosemoore VC, and his six brothers who all served during ww1. this i was able to pass on to one of Arnold's relatives in Devon last week, she was "over the moon" to receive a copy. regards Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
