Every Name a Story

On Tower Hill Memorial is the name of Chief Steward Edward Beales, serving on S.S. East Wales (Cardiff) with the Merchant Navy who died 16/12/1942.

The husband of G. M. Beales, of Seaton Sluice, Northumberland.

In Whitley Bay Cemetery is a family headstone which reads:

Treasured
