thank
I have just returned from France, visiting my Grandfathers grave in Ranville CWGC site.

A friend who researches military history asked if I would take a photo of a school in a village called Dozulé where my grandfather was held (it was used as a infirmary)

Opposite the school is a monument to the liberators of Dozulé, and it is used as a cenotaph on remembrance Sunday and relevant memorial days.

The memorial has the names of two soldiers engraved on it.
George Roberts - my grandfather
and Dennis Delahunt.

i did not know that this memorial existed and I have not found another memorial in the northern France area that was not dedicated to a regiment or officer.  To find one that names a ordinary soldier stood out.

I thought the remaining relatives should know about this as it is something to be proud of.

I then, for nostalgias sake looked at my grandfathers headstone photographs I took and realized that Dennis is buried in the next grave to him.

sorry to join in,  I am trying to find the descendants of Dennis Delahunt.
Parent  Edward and Elizabeth
from Holme Slack in Preston

I believe Edward lived in Haydock street Preston

would this ring any bells with you
