chaz Posted 14 February , 2019 Share Posted 14 February , 2019 just adding another relative to my list, I have been looking to see where he was killed in action. CWGC has him on the Basra memorial, Ancestry has Mesopotamia. Edgar James Wilkins or James Edward Wilkins or just James Wilkins, depending on which resource you read was KIA on 18.4.16. apparently according to SDGW he was with the 5th Duke of Edinburgh's Wiltshire Regiment but Ancestry do not have a war diary for the 5th after January 1916. can a Wiltshires expert confirm location and what was happening on the date, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz Posted 14 February , 2019 Author Share Posted 14 February , 2019 thanks Dave, presumably Ancestry has not seen that yet to digitise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
