I understand she is the only living relative; she's very grateful that she's been alerted to the appeal and will get in touch with CWGC as soon as she can.
Thank you so much for highlighting this - I don't often check into Rootschat these days but when I did today, your post was at the top of the list and I immediately recognised the name and got in touch with my friend.

Update!
Hurrah for Rootschat!
It was a chance in a million that I saw the original post and realised that I recognised the name and knew a relative. Now, the stone has been raised and placed.
Thank you Sandra for that original post.
