The unknown postcard of a war memorial mentioned in my last post turned out to be another simple one to identify from entries on CWGC. A number of these pointed to Stalybridge in Cheshire and a quick Google turned up photos of the same memorial today, substantially the same, but with the names of those who fell in the Second World War added.
Its wonderful to be able to solve these riddles so easily and from the comfort of one's own home. The downside is that it can remove a little of the fun. Hopefully the next one I find on Ebay will prove more of a challenge.
The postcard and a transcription of the war memorial in St Paul's church Stalybridge can be found
