Hello Carol from East Yorkshire!
I found your posts by accident when looking for information about my great grandfather, Thomas Capes. I also saw your post with what looked like a photo of his parents. We were in Hull in 2002 and never knew there was a memorial to him, so never saw it! I am so touched that you remembered him and paid tribute to him. I’ve only seen one picture of him and one of Jessie. My mom is Anne’s daughter. She was an only child like Anne. I’m anxious to get in touch with you  to see what other information you have. We know little about the Capes side other than Thomas was killed in the war. Jessie, Anne, my grandfather and my mom all immigrated to the U.S. after WW2, when my mom was little. My email is tac8322@gmail. com. I hope to hear from you!
