Promenade Posted 21 April , 2020 Share Posted 21 April , 2020 (edited) Over the last 30 years or so I have collected and databased details of the location of, and sometimes the image itself, of over 5000 officers and men who served with the KLR during WW1. For a limited period I am happy to do look ups. If you are submitting a list please no more than 3. I am always keen to know why you are interested in getting a photo of a man. If I have a photo or know of a location of a photo I will correspond via PM. Please be aware that from experience most of the photos I am asked for I don't have! Most of the men whose photos I have are from the Merseyside area. Promenade Edited 21 April , 2020 by Promenade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiA 7 October 1916. Initially buried near the Caribou memorial at Guedecourt and concentrated to Bancourt cemetery. He was my cousin's great uncle. We only found out about him the day before we made our first visit to the Somme and his was the first grave we visited within a couple of hours of arriving. Many thanks.

Promenade Posted 21 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 21 April , 2020 Sorry Ron no trace of a photo - suppose as a consolation his papers have survived! It may be that his is depicted as a seaman or as a R Welsh Fusilier and as such I would have overlooked him. Promenade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
