After receiving information on four British Merchant Seamen buried in a local cemetery, I went along to photograph the graves for a Remembrance Book I am working on. Unfortunately only two of them had CWG headstones, which is to be rectified after I contacted the CWGC. The information on one of the missing headstones should of had the following information on it.
CRACKLES, Master, HENRY, M.V. Beal (Newcastle-on-Tyne). Merchant Navy. 19th August 1940. Age 45. Son of George and Sydonia Crackles; husband of Florence May Crackles, of Middlesbrough.
I can find no ship with this name, not even in the Worlds Merchant Fleets 1939-1945.
Any help please !!!!!!
