Thank you for doing that.

It would be nice to learn a little more about what Mrs.Linton was doing there whilst her husband was away but I think that is going to take a serious amount of digging!She was originally from Cardiff so she was either evacuated there or had relatives in the village.Linton himself was from Malpas,near Newport Monmouthshire.The memorial was obviously post war so I wonder if she stayed there after the war.Her eldest son was lost in the submarine HMS Affray in the early 1950s.

An interesting and brave man. I love the fact that several trains are listed amnogst his 'kills'! Pretty good for a sub commander...he knew how to use that deck gun...
