Many thanks to everyone who joined us for the first of this season’s walks. The weather was kind and the rain held off.
We were joined by members of the Menham family as Andy spoke about Swindon Town football legend Bob Menham. Kevin followed by telling us of the military career of his son Reginald Menham and reading a poignant letter taken from Mark Sutton‘s book Tell Them of Us.
Further talks included the stories of Frederick and Elizabeth Alley, Minnie Price, Ethelwyn May Collet, Elsie Wootten White and another sporting legend Scottish rugby player Dr. Charles Reid. Jon told us about the continuing work of the volunteers and introduced members of the team who give so much of their time to looking after the war graves and helping visitors find family graves.
There were lots of fascinating conversations as visitors shared their family history stories with us. It was lovely to meet Clare and I hope you found your family grave. I look forward to receiving your information and photographs to publish here.
Our next walk will take place on Sunday April 28. Meet at the chapel for 2 pm.
Radnor Street Cemetery 
Wish we could have been there but I feel very lucky that we have visited twice even though we live in Australia. Frederick and Elizabeth Alley are my G grandparents.
