Malcolm Linham Posted 30 May , 2022 Share Posted 30 May , 2022 Ralph Michelle has identified the CWGC record , do you mean that you have been to the memorial and his name is not on it ? Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Linham Posted 30 May , 2022 Share Posted 30 May , 2022 Further to my query , checking the War Graves Photograph project , they appear to have a photograph of his name. So he appear' s to be correctly commemorated. Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphjd Posted 31 May , 2022 Author Share Posted 31 May , 2022 I knew I wasn't going mad this soldier was NOT on this memorial when I checked for him originally, contacted my friend on whose database this lad belongs, he checked as well "found" he was not listed and so he added him after I had started the question in the first instance.
