Memorial Cross
We found this memorial cross GRI whilst clearing out my Father's possessions from my step Mother's attic. We believe it may have been held for safe keeping by my Grandmother Madeline May who lived near Smethwick, Staffordshire, UK. We would like to repatriate it to Arthur's family if they are still contactable? -
