Picked up from a local Facebook page. The grave is located in Trevethin, Pontypool, South Wales.
Some very good news today concerning our Veteran Associations project on the grave of Pte John Jobbins at the cemetery. Mike Black and myself visited E I Peakes Funeral Directors Pontnewynydd. we popped in on the off chance to make inquiries concerning the coloured chippings and the price...we were met by two very charming and very helpful staff Christine Whewell and Michelle Stratton funeral arrangers. These two staff not only did E I Peake a great service but also the Veterans too, they not only listened to our plight but set about seeing what E I Peake could do for us in the form of help in tidying up the grave of Pte Jobbins, to say we were blown away would very much be an understatement as within less than an hour they were back on the phone to us. They informed us both that their Manager..Mrs Gail Williams had sanctioned that they would...1. Supply the said green chippings, 2. Restore the grave to its original state, "Plus" they would put a new Memorial Vase upon it too. All this will be done "Free" of charge, and is to be done by Mr Simon Harris of Newport Memorials. We at the Veterans Association Pontypool Branch would like to say publicly that what has been done for us by E I Peake today has set us well ahead of our target and has taken a great deal of pressure off us to meet our target date for the memorial service. "We cannot thank you enough" we also wish that all our followers on the church site and other sites to please click like or show there appreciation verbally for their generosity and kindness, also we have not forgotten those people of whom offered donations prior to this and again would like publicly to say Thank you and hope you all continue to follow our progress and maybe attend the ceremony within the near future... Kindest regards...Steve Vaughan, relief Secretary Veterans Association Pontypool Branch.
