Admin Michelle Young Posted 15 June , 2019 Admin Share Posted 15 June , 2019 I know this man in the 1/6 Notts and Derbys is commemorated on the Loos memorial, but any ideas how I find out where he may be remembered in the UK? Many thanks Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry_Reeves Posted 15 June , 2019 Share Posted 15 June , 2019 (edited) He is commemorated on the North Wingfield War Memorial, Derbyshire. Soldiers Died shows he was residing there before he enlisted. https://www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/item/memorial/14346 https://www.militaryimages.net/media/north-wingfield-derbyshire.74991/ TR Edited 15 June , 2019 by Terry_Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Michelle Young Posted 15 June , 2019 Author Admin Share Posted 15 June , 2019 Thank you again. This query has come up because a 94 year old lady who attends a clinic I work at mentioned her maternal Uncles.. She mentioned the Uncle at Gallipoli, there's another brother who she said was gassed. I'm off to Derbyshire soon so will look up the war memorial. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
