About 4/5 years ago I was trying to find info on a relative that had a few spells in prison and found a site that showed pictures as well. I picked out this one and had no idea how to copy and it came out like this. Since then I have tried finding the site again but cannot. From this picture...

This is a Memorial for him from the Commision and the grave details and number match the grave in my picture.

My Wifes Great uncle died in Selly Oak Hospital in 1944 and is in a CWGC grave at Yardley......in amongst " ordinary" graves. I think they visit them now and then making sure they are presentable. We had put a message on the grave and it was gone next time we visited and since then I have read...
