Stebie9173 Posted 19 February , 2008 Share Posted 19 February , 2008 McCudden has a few more entries, again for his medal awards and later on his death. None are unrelated to medals or his death. Collishaw gets mentioned for his bar to the DSO: Times 23-9-1918 Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Filsell Posted 21 February , 2008 Share Posted 21 February , 2008 Stevie - Steve Very many thanks - apologies for the spelling error. The McCudden death report would be helpful, as would Manfred von Rs and anything on the bounder Bishop. Hope I am not being too greedy and thanks again.

mtaylor Posted 23 February , 2008 Share Posted 23 February , 2008 I have recently lost my access to The Times archive and wonder if anyone would have the time to look up two ex-119th Brigade officers? Both met unusual ends and there may be obituaries, reports of death or inquests. They are: Lt-Col Anthony John Muirhead (post war rank) (1890-1939). Was the MP for Wells amongst other things and committed suicide in Oct 1939 supposedly because of worry about a gammy leg keeping him out of WW2. Lt-Col R.J.Andrews. Died as a result of an accident in a garage in London in Jan 1923. There was an inquest. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith64 Posted 7 March , 2008 Share Posted 7 March , 2008 Thank you very much Steve! I had no idea the London Gazette was on-line! Never mind for Roger Smith, maybe I'll be luckier some other time (unfortunately, with such a common name searches are always difficult!)

djcrtoye Posted 8 March , 2008 Share Posted 8 March , 2008 Hi could you please look up Lt Col J T Rankin Mitchell Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. The reason I need this is I am in the process of building a site which will honour the dead of Airdrie, he seems to be the highest ranking casualty. His date of death is 1-04-1918. Thanks any information will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
