Date | Original Topic | 22nd April 2005 | Cpl Scheiss VC Memorial ! By Andy Lee I know there is a memorial to Cpl Scheiss at Brecon but does anyone know if there are any memorials to Cpl Scheiss in Switzerland, I'm sure I read it somewhere that there was but can not find anything.
Andy | Date | Replies | 22nd April 2005 | Martin Everett Dear Andy,
I am not aware of a memorial to Cpl Scheiss VC in Brecon - and I am there most days!
You obviously do not have local knowledge - there is however a memorial plaque to Cpl Scheiss in the replacement hospital building at RD. It was placed there by Ian Knight.
| 23rd April 2005 | Melvin Hunt If I remember correctly, the plaque at RD says "this is his only memorial". | 25th April 2005 | Andy Lee Thank you Melvin
I was aware that there was one memorial out there but thought I had read somewhere that there was another one in Switzerland, I was wrong so thanks for your constructive assistance.
Regards
Andy |
