bestsue Posted 27 May , 2008 Share Posted 27 May , 2008 I have a fairly complete set of the Roll of Honour pages published in the Illustrated London News 1914-1918. If you would like me to search for a photo of an Officer killed during the Great War then please reply to this post. I need rank, name, regiment and date of death details. There's always a possibility he may have been recorded in this publication. N.B. it may take me a few days to reply so please be patient. Regards, Steve Bickmore Hi Steve I saw a request on this thread for a look-up for Capt. Esmond William Milne of the Royal Garrison Artillery, 111 D.5. He was my great uncle and I wondered if you had found any mention of him? He died 12/8/1917. Thank you Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknownsoldier Posted 13 June , 2009 Share Posted 13 June , 2009 Stephen, This is very kind of you. I am looking for a photo of Clive Harold Halse, 2nd Lt, RFC who was shot down in France on 24th April 1917. He was missing for some months and then his body was found and is buried at Hennechy. He was a South African but I think his family would have given a photo to the London News because they went to England at the time. Heres holding thumbs.
