    Phil,
    We were at Hermanville this morning and for some reason I happened to notice Kenneth Fone's grave, possibly because he was South lancs and we had taken some photos for you in the past?
    Regards Gill

    RIP Kenneth Fone.

    I was born and brought up in Cronton, making him one of 'our' local heroes.

    :(
