Hello Sue,

Will do that if you think it helps. I came across this by accident when looking into CWGC site for more information on my uncle who died WW2.

I think this must be up-dated regularly. I am sure some of the families would be looking for these relatives, but may not know about the site.

Regards,

Sappho

Hello Fairthorn,

Suggest we could use the email attached to send to them to see if they would like to amend - probably up to them - only if you think it may be worth doing. I hate it when information is incorrect.

Regarding the next of kin - worth just PM them to say to look at this thread.

Leave that to you if you think appropriate. Thanks for doing the look up.

Will keep updating CWGC information on this thread.
