War hero’s memorial disappears decades after his death, family says

A story reported by the Daily Mail describes the disappearance of a memorial dedicated to a war hero, reportedly located at the spot where he died. The article says the tribute was established by the man’s mother and remained in place for more than a century. It then allegedly vanished within the last few years, leaving the family with unanswered questions about what happened to the memorial and where it went. The report frames the case as unusual because the memorial had been present for an extended period without incident, according to the family account. The article also links the war hero’s identity to Lewis Carroll’s wider family history, noting a connection through the hero being a cousin. The Daily Mail does not, in the supplied excerpt, provide specific details about the memorial’s physical form, the exact location, the date it disappeared, or any investigation outcomes. The central points are that a long-standing memorial is no longer present and that the family is distressed by its loss.
