There is a photo, in a book, of a relative, Nina Bird, unveiling the war memorial in Hook, Surrey on 26th September 1920. The accompanying article says there are 42 men listed on the memorial at St Paul's Church "which can be seen by the many people walking along the Hook Road".
Nina was the wife of George Coveney Bird who owned The Rhodrons which was a large country house (near Elm Road apparently). It is now some sort of night club !!
Other than being married to a local dignitary, I don't know why she might have been given the honor of doing the unveiling. Is there someone out there who could photograph the memorial so I can see if there are any relatives on it ? If so, please PM me and I will let you have my email address.
Thanks.
