Tyrrell, IWGC Secretary, to Mrs. Nora Mellor explaining that the headstone was allowed to be incorporated into the existing memorial, but if it was to be removed it would have to be broken up to prevent its further use, dated 14 April 1950; handwritten letter from Nora Mellor to the IWGC regarding arrangements with the stone mason to lay the headstone flat inside the kerb, dated 18 April 1950. |
