Sir, - Mr Michael McGuire, in his recent letter, wonders if there is any kind of memorial to Maurice Dease who won the first Victoria Cross of the Great War.
I am able to provide the answer. There is a cross to his memory in the churchyard of the Catholic chapel of Mayne, in Co. Westmeath, where the Dease family had lived for about 500 years. Maurice Dease was my uncle. - Yours, etc.,
Didsbury,
