Chris Noble Posted 22 April , 2010 Share Posted 22 April , 2010 Hi Graeme. I am at the N.A. next week. Pretty busy schedule, but, if i get the time, and, the thread is the specific date you are interested in, i will see what i can do. Best bet. Drop me a PM if you can. I need to look at the War Diary as regards 1916 regarding my own research anyhow. I can always put something on the 'back burner' as they say. Just a question. What is your interest in this chap? Kindest regards. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeClarke Posted 23 April , 2010 Author Share Posted 23 April , 2010 Hi Chris et all, Many thanks for the offer PM sent but please do not worry too much. If you have time, all well and good, if not, thats OK. I have been researching Walsall and area Rolls of Honour for a number of years now and hes on the Walall RoH. He is one of the men I have very little on. Regards, Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
