COMPLETED - Birmingham (Yardley) Cemetery - CWGC Headstone
« on: Saturday 20 March 10 14:23 GMT (UK) »
If there is anyone who lives local to or visits Yardley Cemetery, Birmingham, I would appreciate any assistance in obtaining a photograph of the headstone of the following WW2 casualty.

BIRMINGHAM (YARDLEY) CEMETERY
PARTINGTON. THOMAS REDFORD, 3659178, PRIVATE, Corps of Military Police, Grave 61468.
The son of Thomas and Elsie May Partington, of Wilkington, Manchester, Private Partington originally enlisted with the South Lancashire Regiment, before transferring to the Royal Corps of Military Police, whom with he was serving with at the time of his death on the 18th November 1941 aged 21.
