Talk:Tell England

Dedication
"The novel is dedicated 'to the memory of REGINALD VINCENT CAMPBELL CORBET who fell, while a boy, in the East and GEORGE FREDERICK FRANCIS CORBET who passed, while a boy, in the West'." The CWGC record of Reginald Corbet is here. The CWGC record of George Corbet is more difficult to confirm, but may be here. Carcharoth (talk) 10:37, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Who were the Corbet brothers (forum discussion).
 * Corbet brothers at List of Malvern College First World War Casualties (includes photos of them).


 * Hello Carcharoth Yes - I'll happily make and post a photo of the headstone for Second Lieutenant GGF Corbet. Interestingly this headstone seems to be in the civilian cemetery along with a number of other military headstones. I'm told the earliest burials by the CWGC at the Military Cemetery were in 1917 and this may explain why the Lieutenant is in the civilian area (along with 12 or 14 VC holders). Anyway towards the end of February I'll track him down and post a photo! WyrdLight (talk) 13:38, 10 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Follow up was here. For the record, the nephew mentioned there (cousin of Reginald and George) is John Hugh Corbet. Carcharoth (talk) 17:20, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
