Lapugnoy appears to be in France! Thanks Andy, Must have captured Lapugnoy in error when I did the sort. Put a name next to it for someone who was doing some graves in the area. Thanks for bringing it to my notice. Not enough sleep is a bad enemy when on the laptop.
Geoff Heres Cecil Watts, luckily the chap who worked for the cemetery, which is privately owned, knew exactly where he was, and also looked up the other chap I was looking for. As you can see the headstone is quite worn! I will send the lot by email as well! Regards Andy
Geoff Here is Edgar Reading from Ilford (Buckingham Road) Cemetery. I could not find any grave, I have never seen such a numbering system! It was not in any order as far as I could see. Pics are from Screen wall behind Screen of Sacrifice. Regards Andy

Hi Phil, One of the members said he may get down there to take a snap however this will suffice in the interim.
Leonard John Miles's Headstone. Municipal Borough Cemetery, Ilford, Essex. Many thanks Andy Bumpy Bump Bump
Drew I have your chap on a list of things to do/find out. I am not sure what cemetery he nmight be in as there are a number of cemeteries in Ilford and when I rang the council earlier this week they gave me a number to ring which unfortunately went unanswered at the time! It would appear that as he is a civilian casualty they (CWGC)just have him as buried in the Municipal Borough of Ilford! Leave it with me and I will endeavour to find him! Regards Andy
Military Cross. have a hard copy photo of o'driscoll,s grave @saffron walden, if you PM me with address will send it. Ranger
Leonard John Miles's Headstone. Municipal Borough Cemetery, Ilford, Essex. Many thanks Andy Just thought I'd bump some of the UK chaps up before I go away Cheers
