[tonyrod]

hi everyone, I have taken on the task of looking after the grave photos , that  tisgrannie  started back in 2007,  we the moderator's and the administration  team feel its time to carry on the great work tis ,started, and  we hope to see finished , that is a grave photo of every Manchester who  died and was listed and buried in a cwgc or a family plot at home, so I will be starting by trying to sort out all photos that are not grave photos, don't be offended if  I remove some they will be put in a  odd ball set , so start sending them in again, with any other information you have, but please look to see if they are not already listed.

 Robert was with his parents Les and Margaret,  who while visiting  Lochnagar Crater ,LES fell over not into the crater thank god but on the outside and was unlucky enough to break his arm in 3 places, after a couple of days in ARRAS HOSPITAL,  Les was fit enough to leave,
The English couple who run Silent Picket B&B  drove them around and translated at the hospital.
so on behalf of myself and all the members, I wish him a speedy a full recovery, tonyrod
