"Plea to preserve tribute to Great War soldier.
DESCENDANTS of a First World War soldier are being asked to come forward, to save a plaque put up in his memory.
The urgent request to relatives of Sidney George Marsh comes from Mr John
Rowe, a regional volunteer for the War Memorials Trust and fieldworker for the Imperial War Museum.
He has discovered that the marble plaque in Dunkirk Church will be lost to the public, unless Mr Marsh's relatives give approval for it to be moved.
Twenty-five-year-old Sidney George Marsh of the Royal East Kent Rifles was found dead in France on August, 1918, after being reported missing for some time. As well as the mention in Dunkirk church, his name is included on the village war memorial.
Any relatives of Mr Marsh are urged to call Mr Rowe on 01795 421446 as soon as possible."
Is anyone related, or can anyone help?
