R.D. Division Plaque and Scroll

[Peter Brydon]

Just acquired this framed plaque and scroll in the local auction. The items are in a heavy bronze frame and have a Liverpool connection but unfortunately not quite in my field of collecting.


The following details are from the CWGC website:

Rank:
Able Seaman
Service No:
R/4184
Date of Death:
03/02/1918
Age:
37
Regiment/Service:
Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve

Hawke Bn. R.N. Div.
Grave Reference:
VI. E. 3A.
Cemetery:
MONT HUON MILITARY CEMETERY, LE TREPORT
Additional Information:
Son of Thomas and Mary Morris, of Litherland, Liverpool; husband of Phyllis Morris, of "Lynwood," 26, Childwall, Priory Rd., Broad Green, Liverpool.

I am sure this will find a good home.
