Has our Ethel or Gerald ever seen this.Its all very interesting stuff.Could you please tell me where his dad Richard Price is Buried.
I haven't seen Ethel Price for years. She was in my class at Poolstock C of E School. I used to see Gerald in Worsley Mesnes Club with his mate Roy Underwood. Sadly, Roy died a few years ago.
Robert died in Normandy following the D-Day landings in June 1944. The cemetery is just outside of Caen.
