hi maureen, i hope you can / do get to the helles memorial to se the name of your maternal grandfather , my sister and i went to france to see our 2 uncles names who were also on memorials , and believe me , it is just as poignant and moving ,and still brought tears to our eyes , i think you`ll regret not going.

nothings impossible, to the person that doesn`t have to do it.

Thank you both for your replies, it is very much appreciated. I went to the War Graves Commision site and found that you are right Ray, my grandfather doesn�t have a grave just his name on the Helles Memorial, panel 136-139, i had been hoping to visit his grave someday but i�ll never get the chance now. Thanks for mentioning the War Graves Commision Edward at least i can stop looking now. Many thanks, Maureen.

Maureen,

Your Grandfather is listed on a fantastic memorial which includes no less than five Victory Cross holders.

There are also other notable names on the memorial.

Perhaps the best site for information would be:
