OUR plea for help concerns a former WW1 Canadian soldier and the search for his final resting place. Following his discharge from the army in July 1919, his record shows he intended to live with Mrs Ellen Brown, his sister, in Coe Wood Cottages on the Carlton-Peasenhall Road at Rotten End, Sibton. John died on 23rd September 1920. However, further research has now uncovered an amazing story. Born on 15th February 1896 at Sibton, his actual birth name was Charles Frederick Brown. It now transpires Mrs Ellen Brown (née Abbott) was in reality his mother, not


a sister, and married to David Brown. The two Coe Wood cottages were almost certainly tied farm cottages. The Brown family were most likely estate workers at Wood Farm, long owned by the Levett- Scrivener family. Giving their address as Coe Wood Cottage, Charles Frederick Brown and Nellie Thorn were married by ‘Licence’ on 9th June 1919 in the Register Office at Bulcamp just a month before he was demobbed. Shortly afterwards, they had relocated to Quinn Square, Russia Road, Bethnal Green, London. As Charles was suffering with tuberculosis,

how much you love someone, how committed you are to that person. The safe option is to buy chocolates or a cuddly toy, but nothing says I love you more than a well thought out bunch of flowers or special item of jewellery. The choice of flowers can


also show how much your partner means to you. Orchids are associated with thankyou’s and birthdays and Gerberas are a flower you would give someone to make them happy if they are down, and not really associated with romance. Valentine’s Day is famous for beautiful red roses as they are ultimately the most romantic flower you can give or receive. Perhaps send one red rose,


some people like simplicity and especially if you haven’t been


with the person very long, it’s a nice way to show you like them without going overboard. A tip to try if you are a married


is recreating the flowers you had at your wedding, it shows a lot of thought has gone into the gift. This is a meaningful gift and could be a nice change from roses. Roses come in many colours

so if your partner is house proud or has a certain colour scheme it’s nice to match the flowers up with that, that way when they are displayed they go perfectly with the colours in the room. As with flowers, jewellery

can show a more thoughtful and personal touch. No one knows your partner as well as you do, so make the most of this and buy an item you know they have been looking at, or that they


have frequently mentioned. Be it a pair of simple earrings or perhaps a more fancy statement necklace. If you haven’t been together


too long then there is no need to go overboard. But, if this is your fifth or tenth Valentine’s Day together then why not push the boat out and get something that your partner will cherish, after all, a piece of jewellery will last a lifetime! Most of all, getting a gift they will love doesn’t have to mean re-mortgaging the house. A small gift with a lot of thought goes a long way. Stick to your budget and team a gift with a special home-cooked meal or night out and you are sure to put a smile on the face of your special someone.


they may have moved there to enable him to attend the nearby Bethnal Green Military Hospital at 214A Cambridge Road. Sadly, Charles Brown died in the hospital on 23rd September 1920, the exact same age, day and place which the army recorded for ‘John Smith’. With probably very little money to spare, logic dictates Charles should have been laid to rest close to where he died. To date, his burial has not been traced to any London cemeteries or churchyards within a reasonable radius of Bethnal Green Hospital. Therefore, did his family find a way to bring his body back home to Sibton and bury him locally? Again, no trace so far. Curiously, the burial place of Ellen and David Brown is also ‘Unknown’. Extensive research is continuing in London and Suffolk to establish where Charles was laid to rest. In either case, it is highly unlikely he has a headstone. We are again appealing for help to try to locate his grave, so that it can be marked with a Commonwealth War Grave Commission headstone before the centennial anniversary of his death.

I WOULD like to say a big thank you to the staff at the Halesworth Co-operative store who were such a great help when my elderly neighbour had a fall and broke his leg there recently. The staff could
