SOMMESOLDIER Posted 14 December , 2004 Share Posted 14 December , 2004 Hi All, I have a copy of two Cd Roms One being Officers Died 1914 and the other being Officers Died 1916.

kinnethmont Posted 15 December , 2004 Share Posted 15 December , 2004 Tim Thanks for the prompt reply. The details are the same as those from CWGC records but to obtain a photograph of the man in 30 minutes is fantastic. His was a long standing military family and this may well explain his inclusion on the Roll. Again, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
