Below we have an example of every mothers worst nightmare,
her 2 sons memorial plaques ,its bad enough to lose 1 son in a war
but to lose both must be really painful, now people will realise that,
Thomas was in the west yorkshire regiment ,
and Edward was in the, Royal Naval Division (Nelson Battalion),
and this is a site dedicated to the Royal Naval Division,
Well the simple fact is "they were Brothers " and originally seperated,
by death in the great war , their plaques have in a way re-united them,
albeit symbolically , they should never be seperated again !.
THIS IS AN ONGOING PAGE AND WILL BE ADDED TO,
AS NEW INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE .
