Jolly Jeeper Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) This comes via one of the veterans' groups on facebook LAYING TO REST AN OLD SOLDIER. CAN ANYONE HELP? My name is Christopher Homer and I am the home manager of Marmion Nursing Home which is located in Tamworth, Staffordshire. I am writing to ask your advice as we have just lost a resident of ours aged 89 years. He has been in our home for 21 years and has passed having no family members or next of kin. Marine William Albert Vaughn 24/3/1924 - 25/3/2013 As a young man he served in the forces as a marine and was honoured with the veterans badge that he treasured very much and loved nothing more than listening to old time songs that took him back. As he has no family members his funeral will be attended by staff from the home only. I therefore ask if there is a way of contacting veterans in our area who may wish to pay their respects to a fellow serviceman. If you can help and wish to contact me you can do so by calling 01827 67953. Thank You Christopher Homer. The funeral is April 12th at 1.30 The address for the Crematorium. Sutton Colfield Crem, B75 6LG Leaving from the nursing home at 13:00 For more info please call 01827 67953 Edited March 30, 2013 by Jolly Jeeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
