I had come across it before, but your posting jogged my memory of it. I had a look, as always, for the details of my grandfather's first cousin,William James West. Much to mtdelight a photograph is on file on the site, although not currently online. I have requested a copy of the image and sent a donation. William is buried in the British War Cemetary in Ligny-sur-Canche. When he died, he, like so many others was only 20 years old. Thanks once again -- Regards, Julie Goucher anglers.rest@virgin.net www.anglers-rest.net www.C-J.org.uk
