Skipman Posted 8 December , 2018 Author Share Posted 8 December , 2018 Thanks Craig Convalescent something was my first thought. I wonder if the last entry is "Dacrour"a misspelling of Boulaq Ad Dakrour, Giza? He died 27/12/1918 buried at Beirut. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
