JOSIAH CLUES, 1778-1842. A KINGSTON LINK TO THE NAPOLEONIC WARS.

The tombstone of Josiah Clues who died in 1842 was found in Memorial Gardens, Kingston upon Thames, KT1 1RP.  Through merit alone, he rose from the ranks to be a Lieutenant in the British Army having served in the Peninsular War and the Battle of Waterloo.  Currently there are plans to remove or relocate tombstones in Memorial Gardens and his tombstone or the metal plaque attached to it need to be safeguarded to ensure that the memory of this distinguished Kingston resident is not lost.
