smiths565 Posted 15 July , 2005 Share Posted 15 July , 2005 Hello everybody I am liooking for J. E. Blackburn. He was in the Labour Corps. Thats all I have. There should be a connection to Sheffield or the surrounding area. I know a lot of men transfered from the Labour Corps to fighting units, which makes the task more difficult. Can anybody help Thanks in advance Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
