Hello Mel I can appreciate what you are saying with so many people with the name Gigli I have since found out that His name was Henry Gigli and was in The Queens Westminster Regt am not clear yet wether he had a pension I assume he did no he wasnt killed in action because later on in his life he became a Door Commisioner at the Dorchester Hotel in London

Kind regards

Susan

If you could just give us a first name or about year of birth that would give us more to go on.

There are an awful lot of people with this surname on the records.

we can't look up Grandad Gigli. You say you know he was in the Lndon Rifles, do you know his number? Did he get a pension or was he killed in action. It all makes a difference to our searches for you.

Would just like to say thank you for ALL the information that everybody has found for me I now know a lot of information that I didnt know 1 hour ago I shall have great delight in tracing Grandad Gigli


Kind regards

Susan
