VOLUNTARY Gt War research. I requested this image 11/4/2014 but nothing received. Have checked Junk/spam as you suggest. Since original request I now have discovered this humble Private,who was associated with my home village (Shropham, Norfolk) & was promoted to 2nd /Lieut.. later became Lieutenant & was awarded the Military Cross. A photo of his grave would be much appreciated, as it will probably confirm other details about him (eg.marriage/children or not as the case may be). I could organise a trip to photograph this grave as I am not too far away but it would mean a round trip of approx 150 miles. Hope to hear from you, Cynthia Budd
