- Portion of Mallett history written by Hazel J Mallett
The register of the cemeteries sent to us say that they are in the northern and eastern parts of the administrative county of Southhampton. The Stockbridge Cemetery is where Ray is buried and I think it is probably adjacent to the church. In the record of graves it is listed as Stockbridge rural district, index number Hants 192. Ray is on page 40 in the index. they sent us. The listing says: Mallett, 2nd Lt. Ray, 3rd Training Depot Station, Royal Air Force. accidentally killed while training 16th July 1918. Age 21, son of Chester and Euphemia A. Mallett of 11219 77 Avenue, Edmonton, Alta, Canada. This register was published by order of the Imperial War Graves Commission, London, 1930. 1 realize that the church may not-be there anymore. There may have been bomb damage too. I think Walter Mallett is listed as Ray's next of kin in Britain, so he was notified of Ray's death when we were. My mother's Scotch feyness knew there was something wrong when Ray was killed though we didn't get the cable until 4 days later.
