Hi Michel
Its nice to put a face to the name and a very handsome face too and now we can picture you for if and when we meet up.
Its good to know that the inscription on the stone is not damaged and to know what is said on it so thank you Graham for risking injury to tell us.
My own family in Liverpool were offering to go turn the stone over until Annies wise words of caution made me stop them from doing so as this should be done under authorisation and supervision of the church.

You look like a lovely man Michel - I was expecting an elderly gentleman and you look very young! 
Graham, I'm amazed that you were able to move the stone - I hope you haven't done yourself a mischief!

Good morning Michel.
So good to see the man who started this quest with his ambition to re-unite the war token. My thanks for looking after it so well.
Graham hope you are not suffering you exploits lift the stone but many thanks for the conformation as we now know Roberts resting place.
Mary the church looks lovely many thanks for attending so many of us were with you in spirit ...who knows maybe even Robert was watching over it all.

I was talking to my sister over the weekend and she has suggested getting in touch with the British Leigon as she was talking to someone about this thread and they said as he was a soldier in WW1 then they may repair it.
Has anyone made any contact with the suggested army people to get it raised or has Graham made any progress with the church.
There was talk of getting the media interested and no more mentioned on it
Have we come to a standstill or are things going on in the background
If things are at a standstill can we get it moving again before interest wanes
What are your thoughts friends

I did contact the photographic department of the IWM to ask if they had an official ,captioned group photograph which may show Robert Wm.Stead with others and am now awaiting a reply.
Last year, I was lucky enough to find one in which there was my father taken on 2nd September, 1918 at Douverain Camp, BETHUNE, France...Michel's teritory, I think.
I was able to purchase a few of them and gave one to his regimental museum who did not possess that particular group.
The IWM have copyright laws which need to be read in case luck is on our side and there is a photo of Robert .
The cost is very reasonable £5 per copy plus postage.

The followinghas just arrived from the IWM photographic Dept:
Thank you for your enquiry regarding a group photograph which features
Robert William Stead.
I am afraid that we do not appear to have any such photograph in our
collection.
Group photographs are often difficult to locate as they would have
usually been distributed privately. The main bulk of our First World
War collection consists of British Official photography taken on the
fronts rather than formal photographs of individuals or regimental group
photographs.
We do receive private donations of photographs that occasionally have
group photographs accompanying other material, but with this particular
soldier, I am afraid that we do not appear to have anything.
I would have recommended contacting the appropriate regimental museum
for further assistance but it appears that you have already done this.
It is a long shot, but it still may be worth contacting the National
Army Museum at Chelsea in London as they have a photographic collection
there.
I am sorry not to be able to help you any further on this occasion.
Yours sincerely,
Laura Clouting
Laura Clouting (Miss)
Curator
[/b]That is a blow but it may be worth sending an E Mail to the National Army Museum[b]
