Hi Alta

I was wondering where this memorial was so thanks for the location.
Thank you for adding more to this story and for your kind offer.
May I have copies of the pics you mention please?

Best wishes
Becky

Morning Becky

I have some photos of the memorial for these victims. It is at the
Southend
Cemetery in PE. We took the photos during our holiday now in March to the
EC. It is not yet available on the eGGSA, the volunteers are still busy
labelling the stuff. But I am happy to forward it to anybody - should they
require a copy.

To the memory of the brave men who lost their lives whilst engaged in
rescue
work during the Great Gale which raged at this port on 1 Sept 1902
