  the address given is Willow Grove, which I haven't been able to find.
I suggest Willow Grove was the name of the house. The house I am going to mention was known as Doctor Cadmans many years ago. If you go on Google Maps, search for 110 Main Street, Horsley Woodhoue. Once found, go onto street view and find the (large) house, there is a white van emerging from the driveway. To the left of the van is the name Willow Grove embedded in the wall.

Hello Peter,

Pleased to hear from you. I have no items to pass on as I was the middle man for Eric.
I will try and contact him to see if he can help at all but in the meantime send me your email address by private message just in case anything crops up.

Howard,

I do not know if this will help but for information anyway.

Derby Mercury 23rd  November 1917

"Spondon War Losses

Charles Grace aged 29years, of the Royal Engineers, was killed by shrapnel on November 7th in France. He leaves a wife and two little girls, and his young widow has been bereaved of three brothers, two killed in action and the third died in Hong Kong. Mrs C Grace is living with her late husband’s  mother, who is a widow also. Before enlisting deceased worked at the Derby Sewerage Works, Spondon.  The officer of his section has written “ He was one of the best men in the company / both in his work and as a soldier and a man. He was very popular with the whole company". His brother Walter Grace of the Australian Imperial Force was killed in action on July 20th in France."
