Richard Tauber

Yesterday I received an e-mail from a visitor named Dominique, who suggested an entry on Richard Tauber. I happened to stumble upon a tombstone bearing his name when I visited Bad Ischl in Austria back in 2003. This was slightly confusing, because I thought he was buried at Brompton Cemetery in London. But Tauber had lived in Bad Ischl and I wondered if his remains were moved to Austria or if there had been plans to do so. But apparantely his name is only mentioned on the tombstone of his nephew Max Tauber. In 2004 I was in London and I looked up Richard's real grave at Brompton Cemetery. Both are now on the site.
