Does anybody from the UK who reads this board live anywhere near Meysey Hampton?

Guess who is on the war memorial?

Lesrae,you are correct.I am trying to obtain a photograph of that memorial and was hoping that if somebody from this board lived near there that they would go and take a picture of it for me.

I saw that, but it's not the grave, it's another memorial elsewhere.

Nice pic linked from the wiki site though:
