Joseph Thomas Webb

I've just been past Mr Webb's gravestone and there's been no change, so I think I may contact the CWGC as well to encourage them to clean up the grave. Hopefully another person commenting about it may spur them on.

Hi Garlands, this is the automated response I received from CWGC which states allow 20 'working' Days for a response or longer in some cases. The time limit, (from 18th March), is next week, so I was going to leave it till then before contacting them again. By all means get in touch with them as well if you think it will help.

Thanks @Wearethemods, very much appreciated. Perhaps I'm not allowing them enough time, just seemed so long ago that we last spoke about this. If I do see the grave cleaned up I'll be sure to let you know

Hi Garlands, I've been on holiday since 11th April, and during my absence I have received an e-mail response from CWGC. I am unsure how to post it on the Forum, so if you can private message me with your e-mail address, I will send it to you so maybe you can do the 'honours'.

Here is the email that @Wearethemods received in regards to Mr Webb's gravestone. Thanks for getting this response @Wearethemods Hopefully the grave will look more presentable soon.

In the Coventry archive, the WW2 Roll of the Fallen lists Mr Webb: ---Joseph Thomas Webb, Stoker 1st class, Royal Navy, NHS "Europa". Born 15th of June 1921, at Coventry. Resided 25 Honeyfield Road. Employed Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft Ltd. Enlisted April 1941. Killed in Action- 12th of May 1943 at Lowestoft. Buried Coventry Cemetery. Mentioned in despatches---

I wrote another email to the CWGC, in addition to @Wearethemods' email, as the grave still looked rather unkept as of 2 weeks ago. I've just recieved a response. It's similar to the one @Wearethemods' but with some more differences:-
