CommentsCivilian Memorial
published by - 9 years 24 days ago. | | | At last, it has happened.
I think it was about 1999, when I contacted the Weston Gazzette, to say how frustrated I was on visiting the cemetery, looking for ww2 civilian graves. Only to find the plot overgrown, and the headstones laid flat, to make mowing easier. I contacted the Gazzette, and they ran a story on it, with promises from the council to sort it out.
In 2006 I revisited the site to see nothing had changed. And re contacted both the council, and the Gazzette about it. I hearted nothing back, and had all but given up hope.
Imagine my Suprise today to see, the seed I planted grow to fruition....
I was in the armed forces, when I started looking it all up. And could not be more happy to see it completed.
I'm not from WSM, but the story always meant a lot to me

Rev. H. G. Tomkins
published by - 9 years 1 months 0 day ago. | | | Thank you, Pat, for your helpful information. I'll follow it up. A visit to the Internet will show that Tomkins was a prolific author on biblical history and archaeology, and also lectured on the history of Weston super Mare. | |
Christina Lace
published by - 9 years 1 months 0 day ago. | | thank you very much indeed, Pat - that's more than I had ever hoped for! She's on my paternal side of the family, and my previous research i.e. Evors was mother's side, so Weston has both sides represented.
Is there a grave reference please? Would like to look for it when I visit. Again, thank you so much! Jasmine
