As Edward Loughman has no headstone, I'm in touch with a family member to seek consent for a CWGC headstone.

Edward Loughman's burial at St Joseph's has been adopted as a War Grave yesterday. As he is buried in a common plot, his name will be added to the "Screen Wall" of the Soldiers Plot Memorial.
