Lancashire / Richard (Morecambe Cenotaph)

Hi
Some time ago I took some photos of the cenotaph and poppy crosses, which were in a plant trough.
Some names in the plant trough I was able to find information on, but the poppy with a photo of Richard I would be interested to know who he was. Once I have some information I will be able to add it his image which I uploaded on to Military Images
Many regards

I contacted the Torbay Cemeteries and Crematorium Office this day 20th and they were able to inform me that they have been unable to locate him in their region. Well, it's back to the drawing board!!

Devon / Trooper James Guy McLaren Davey

Hi
I would appreciate some help with the above subject. I am aware of how Trooper Davey died on the 30th December 1960. He was in the army in 1960, the time of his death in London with the Household Division. His parents were Frederick J and Bessie Mary, both passed away and they lived in the Torquay region. In 1965 when his mother died she was living at Sandford Road, Chelston. That is all I have on his back ground. I have received an email from a friend of his who served with him and is in poor health and is trying to find where James is at rest because he would like to visit the grave to pay his last respects. He has tried all avenues to find him but he has been sent from pillar to post and got nowhere. I suspect he may be with his parents or in the same burial ground somewhere near to his home. Sorry for being long winded, but any help would be very much appreciated to let this old soldier say goodbye to his comrade. Thanks.
