We have 3 missing at the moment and I wonder if anyone can help us trace what has happened to the below:- 1. Woolsthorpe by Belvoir Methodist Church had a WW1 memorial, when the chapel was visited it was being stripped (benches against the walls etc) and the memorial couldn't be found. Anyone know if it's still there, or where it's gone? 2. Brigg Catholic Memorial. This was a white crucified Christ on a black cross, the chapel was demolished c 1966 when the new church was built. Anyone any idea where this memorial went? 3. Great Gonerby Boer War Memorial dedicated to Edward Henry Barker interior of St Sebastian Church. When visited the church was being prepared for building work inside, all other memorials were found but this one was not (may have been hidden behind the plastic coverings around the organ etc). Anyone know if it's still there, or where it's gone? Thanks for any help. Mike.

Do you by any chance have any information about this soldier?  It is such a sad, sad story. Sincerely, Joan Abrahams.
