Default 6th Airborne Division RA - Fredrick Berry
I just thought I'd share my latest "before and after" photos - the war grave is that of Gunner Fredrick Berry - 6th Airborne Division RA. Who died 27 June 1946. I'd love to know more about Fred and was wondering whether any forum members might be able to help? The grave was looking pretty sad but hopefully a good weed and some bags of chippings - and he's ready for parade again. Tim

Here is his Casualty Card. It seems that his death was accidental.
