Unmarked graves at Taradale cemetery
I tried to do this last year and someone suggested Richard Dampney has a daughter living in Napier. In order to get these soldier's a marker for their graves, I need to hear from family. Please ask them to message me or email napierwargraves@gmail.com.
Seeking family for the following soldiers buried at Taradale (Napier) cemetery and don't have a headstone. It may be possible to get them one if no-one comes forward but we must first check there is no-one who may wish to object.
Richard Henry Dampney WW2 578787 died 20 August 1990
George Bernard Timlin WW1 64387 died 18 August 1921
John Morrison MacConnell WW2 281537 died 5 September 1998
