Following the examples of Church Micros and SideTracks, this hopefully growing series will be set out to mark the remembrance of our fallen. These caches asks you to get details from Commonwealth War graves (#LestWeForgetThem) or from Village, Town or City war memorials (#LestWeForget). All of these locations and individuals need to be treated with respect, so please be respectful in your hunt. They can be found on the Commonwealth website or app, but part of the fun of a mulit or puzzle - and part of the point in creating this series - was to get people to visit the graves of those who fell, and all were designed around this purpose.
In the cemetery just off the dual carriageway in Thurmaston, there are the war graves of some military personal. You need to locate the Commonwealth graves of the nine personnel in order to get the correct coordinates. The cache is within a 10 minute walk from the Cemetery.
The coordinates are:
N 52 AB.CDE W00F GH.IJK
A = How many servicemen were ranked as Private?
B = The last digit of T H Jones' service number?
C = The forth digit of G H Dawson's service number?
D = The last digit of L T Keeling's service number?
E = The sixth digit of A Bishop's service number?
F = All the digits added together until you get a single digit, of F Parkers service number? (eg 752 would be 7+5+2=14 (1+4) = 5)
G = The sixth digit of E F McNaught's service number?
H = The number of digits in J Martin's service number?
I = The middle digit of D R Lewis' service number?
J = The seventh digit of J F Green's service number?
K = How many servicemen were not part of the RAF?
If anyone has any information about the individuals involved I would love to include their stories in here.
