My Latin is weak, but could you tell the list where the stone is and what Latin words you can make out and whether the inscription has been transcribed elsewhere? -- Christopher Pipe BA DipLib MCLIP researching and indexing Norfolk history [email protected] (and see www.cromerdictionary.co.uk) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carol Wordingham Sent: 17 April 2014 11:22 To: Norfolk mailing list Subject: [NFK] Latin inscription Can any one on the list help me to make sense of a Latin inscription on the grave of a family member who died WW1. I have a photo of the stone but one word is masked by a leaf and despite entering the remaining words into Latin transcription sites online with one word missing it ends up garbled. As the family was not highly educated I am at a loss to discover how they knew of a Latin quotation in the first place. Was there a list of suitable inscriptions they could chose from? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Carol, If you could let me have either, a picture of the inscription, or the words you can make out and any letters from the word unreadable, I will forward to my cousin who reads Latin fluently (he' s a great asset!!)
