Can anyone help? I am after a photo of an entry on the WW1 memorial in Ashington church sussex. I live in the midlands and did make a large detour to visit the church, it was unfortunately closed, there was a contact address but no one was in. If anyone was able to take a photo of this I would be so grateful. The person I am after is Percy Lee (a great uncle). Many thanks Michele

Thanks for those, I had found both of them. I was just really keen to have a photo. From what I have found he and his wife never had children and she never remarried so I thought it would be nice to have a photo of his memorial along with the other details just so he hasn't been forgotten. Michele
