There is now a small exhibit about Otto and Ralph Vignale at the Museum of Croydon:
Well done to Sam Ali who is working as a Heritage Trainee at the museum for pulling it together. The exhibit shows details of the brothers’ service and gives some general background on the British West Indies Regiment. Sam has also tracked down a copy of a rare book by Ralph Vignale and has included a charming family photo which Historycal Roots helped him find.
It was a pleasure to meet Sam recently and to chat to him about his plans for more exhibits. He was interested in the story of Dr Charles Easmon who died in Croydon after a very eventful life and is buried at Bandon Hill cemetery, his life would make a fascinating exhibit!
