    Hi All

    Currently researching the names on the Little Cawthorpe War Memorial in Lincolnshire for the Churches Conservation Trust - there are only 3 names from WW2 - all brothers, all died in air related incidents - it is Owen and John Cribb that I would appreciate further information on - as Henry is pretty much covered.
    Thanks again fir your help
    Regards

    John
