David,

Here are the 2 men you asked for. Have you checked out the Forest of Dean soldiers database recently uploaded to http://www.forest-of-dean.org.uk/, it is a work in progress but there is another reference to Arthur Lewis that I found in the Gloucester Journal.

[Dayave]

Dave,

Thanks for getting back so quickly and for the images they'll be very useful for our research project.

Also I have seen that database already and it's been very interesting to search through. It's great to see what else people have been working on in the area.

Thanks again,

David

Mike,

It looks like they used the same photo for both the Hopkins entries, just a different write up of course.

Hi Dave

Would you be so kind to see if there is a photo of my greatuncle Joseph Arthur Fletcher

in the Cheltenham or glocester papers. He served with the RGH and then transferred to the

machine gun corps.

Thank you

Frank

Frank,

Sorry to say that out of the 16 Fletcher's indexed, Joseph Arthur is not amongst them
