Belated thanks are due tp 'apanderson' for the posting on the Muiravonside parish memorial in the Muiravonside cemetary. Great photos.

I haven't visited this part of the website for a few months but finding my gt-grandfather listed on this memorial was welcome news to me. Thanks so much. It's a nice memorial, and being in a cemetary will presumably be better kept than the one at Standburn.

regards
Clark
