just found this wonderful article
"Toll Boys war memorial "
I dont know how to link it
 its a Lady called Mary Young's Scullomie's pages (apologies if I am not supposed to print ladies name on here)
its about her father being invited to unveil a memorial plaque in Port Glasgow
and guess what Felix's name appears on it there is also a D Mooney on it
my grandmother's Mother was a Mooney
and the sad thing about it is I see that plaque every day and never thought of
stopping to look at it

I am researching my wife's family tree and have found that her grandmother Edith Farr married Private Charles Hocking on December 23rd 1917. He was killed on 26th March 1918 I think in France as he is remembered on the Tyne Cot Memorial in Belgium.
His number was 240325 1st/5th Bn. York and Lancaster Regiment.
I would greatly appreciate any information on this man.

best wishes
