	There is an article in our local newspaper about a man who has found a plaque and it bear's the name of a Mathew Parsons killed in action in 1915 aged 28 he was in the Durham light infantry.He would like to return it to the Parsons family. UPDATE I phoned the man who had the plaque,and told him about this site and that I had contacted a member on this site who had the above name in her tree and today she phoned him,what a coincidence --not that she got my message,she lives in Australia and is on holiday and is here in Darlington and her Aunt told her about the article,also this man has had someone else contact him who has been looking the Gr Member as she is a relation too----Great Eh??

	Just to let you know GR member Monica contacted me today --she is home in Oz now and has had a reunion with her cousin and seen the plaque which is staying in Darlington with her cousin, and was so pleased with the outcome. This was just meant to happen,fate eh??
