A little bit of an update. There is a Parish Council meeting tomorrow night. I have spoken with a couple of members of the council and they are all for what I propose for the grave of L/Cpl. Walter Herbert Smith . The chairman of the council has indicated that he is in favour of the council helping with the costs. So it all depends on the reaction of the Parochial Parish Council.(still waiting to hear of the outcome of their meeting sometime this month)
With regard to discovering more about the brother of Lancelot David Hiller... Albert Edward I'm still not a lot wiser about him. Taking advantage of yesterdays beautiful weather my wife and I went down to visit the Churchyard at Stratford-Sub-Castle yesterday to see if we could locate him. We looked at every grave... No sign of Edward Albert. This morning I rang and spoke the the incumbent clergyman. He has requested That I send him the details that I have and he will pass them onto his recorder of graves to see if he can help.

Commonwealth War Graves and cross of Rememberence.
Blue plaque on the garden wall of a house just outside of the churchyard..
Little memorial on the grave of Lancelot Davids grave in Barton Stacey churchyard I had to clean it a little to read it. I'm guessing that Lott was an affectionate family name for Lancelot.
A better picture of the information regarding Albert Edward on Lancelot's headstone.
