FredJCarss Posted 25 August , 2004 Share Posted 25 August , 2004 I photographed a Black Watch grave at Le Touret Military Cemetery to No.20 Private F. SHIRRAN, 5TH Febuary 1915 (2nd Bn) I also note that there is a No.20 Private F. SHERRAN, 5TH Febuary 1915 (2nd Bn) on the Le Touret Memorial. Surely this is the same man, I dont know which is spelt correctly but if it is SHERRAN then the family may never have chance to visit his grave. How do I enquire to sort this out as it looks like an error has occured. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Denham Posted 25 August , 2004 Share Posted 25 August , 2004 Fred A certain duplication. The checking process has been initiated and the correction will be made in due course. It will take a while to go through the system as, even though it looks an open and shut case, great care is taken not to delete someone in error. I'll let you know when it is done.

FredJCarss Posted 25 August , 2004 Author Share Posted 25 August , 2004 Great. I must admit this one has bugged me for a while! It will be good to know which spelling is correct. Thanks again Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 8 September , 2004 Share Posted 8 September , 2004 Fred Today, Shirran has been accepted as a duplication and the incorrect entry for 'Sherran' has been deleted from the database. This name will be removed from the Le Touret Memorial in due course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredJCarss Posted 8 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 8 September , 2004 Many thanks for all your work in this matter. I must admit I am glad the correct spelling was Shirran as it would have been hellish if the family didnt know he had a grave to visit.
