We have in our possession a war medal belonging to the above person. This
person is not a member of our family, and how it came to be in our
possession, no one knows. I have searched the Commonwealth War Graves site
and have found that Charles was a private in the Queens Own ( Royal West
Kent Regiment) and that he died on the 30th November 1917. He was the only
son of Charles and Sarah Burke, of Lambeth Road, London. I would like to
return this medal to anyone in the extended family of Charles Burke. If his
name appears in your family research, could you please contact me. I am not
a member of any other area news group, apart from the Suffolk news group, so
if any of you reading this do belong to other groups, could you pass on this
e-mail message on.
Thanking you
Laurie Rands, in sunny Auckland, New Zealand
