Hi Eddie,

I'm interested in the pics you have of the grave for the above firefighters. I saw the one you posted but the names are cut off at the far right, which includes the name I'm interested in. Could you post one that shows all of the names not cut off, I'd so appreciate it.

Thank you,
TML

Hi Soup
Sorry I have no images of any of the firemen kelled at the Old Palace School, but I'm about to get hold of some old wartime stuff on firemen including some pictures. It might take a few weeks to get through the stuff, but I will look out for anything to do with this incident and get back to you

Hi Bob,

Did you ever get through those pics you mentioned above? I'm interested in any pics of the men killed in the Palace School, Edgar William Vick in particular. I'm doing a bio for someone who is memorializing those 32 who lost their lives that fateful morning, his great aunt included.

Any information you may have on him would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
TML
