Gnr. Edward Charles Penfold
British Army 6 Bty., 2nd Searchlight Regiment. Royal Artillery
from:Hindon, Salisbury
(d.19th October 1946)
Near my home in Wilton, I found Edward Penfold’s war grave at the cemetery in Barford St Martin, near Wilton, Salisbury.
He lies in a forgotten corner, the grave looking somewhat forlorn and a tad neglected.
I checked on the CWGC website and found his grave records and who was his family. I shall shortly check to see if his family are still in the area, and offer to maintain his grave, as the site is listed as being cared for by relatives.
Today, 10th November, Remembrance Sunday, I commemorated his service with my own Act of Remembrance. RIP Gunner Edward Charles Penfold RA.
