Hello all is there anyone on the list who lives near the above address who would be willing, on a nice day to take a picture of it for me? Thanks Jim

Hello Listers Is there anyone who lives in or within easy reach of Gravesend who would be prepared to take a photo for me and scan and send it to me, please? I understand that the St Mary’s War Memorial Tablet was moved to St John's RC Church, Parrock Road, Gravesend when St Mary’s School was closed in 1951. I have a cousin whose name appears on it – he was killed by a bomb in October 1940, in Clapham. His name is George Bloxam – though it might appear on the tablet as Reginald Louis George Bloxam, or some combination of those names. He was at St Mary’s from 1931 to 1937. I live on the other side of the country and am unlikely to be visiting Kent for a long time. I am writing an article (for family purposes only) about George and his family – there were other tragic events in the family’s life too – and would like to be able to include a photo of it as a tribute to him. With thanks in advance Lawrence Pearse
