Anybody going to Alfriston (or live there)?
« on: Sunday 15 May 05 03:08 BST (UK) »
Hi,
If anybody (perhaps Rod in Sussex will be passing by on his way to a cricket match?) is going to Alfriston sometime soon or is fortunate to live there (it's a very picturesque place) I would like to ask a favor of them.  If at all possible, I would like to get a photo of the grave of Brg Gen William Bodle.  He died on 9 Jul 1924 and his funeral was held on 12 Jul 1924.

Thanks

Mark

If there is nobody nearer I could go but it might have to wait until half term.

Mark,

I am up that way in about 10 days time if that will help, but I cannot do anything this week, I am on your side of the pond!

Hi Mark
Did you get the photo you wanted?  I'm visiting my Dad in Seaford, and pass through Alfriston daily, taking my niece to the stables.  If you still need a pic taken, just let me know which churchyard (or is there only one?)
Best
Sami
P.S. & I'll need an email address to send it to. ;D
