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,
