Hi all, Banbury area seems very popular on ebay at the mo! Some good out of print local books up for grabs --- Joseph Ashby of Tysoe Lois Klein collection of Banbury in old photographs Tom Rigby Banbury in old photos series & a couple of Brian Littles newer publications on Banbury Views 'different' to the usual PPC's often seen for sale on there, some really nice ones of old Aynhoe (Dawn) plus other villages & Banbury town itself - some with messages written on the back. Maybe that means the card is worth less as 'used' - but the message is priceless if its your family! I have no interests in the selling of these items. Angela co admin Banbury

Dear Barry I have exactly the same brickwall - but no photo - but a name which I traced thru hospital records! You might also trawl thru the CWGC site to see if you can trace his death looking at possible surnames you have and local regiments? Hope this may help! April Wood Ashton - looking for Albert Bartle.
