andy1400 Posted 28 February , 2006 Share Posted 28 February , 2006 I have been researching my war memorial and whilst going through the papers have found another three that were not on the memorial. Would anyone be able to do a look up for me please? I only have basic details from the paper. 1. Pte W Chapman Royal Dublin Fusiliers died of wounds late 1918 2.L/Cpl John Henry Robinson Northamptonshire Regt died in hospital, France late 1918. 3.Sgt James William Skelly 1st RM Bn RND 26/10/1917 The last one is RMLI so I am not sure if he will be on SDGW.

curranl Posted 28 February , 2006 Share Posted 28 February , 2006 Hi Andy, William Chapman is also commemorated in Ireland's Memorial Records. His entry doesn't contain any more information than Mandy has already given you. If you would like a copy of his entry, send me an PM with your email address. Regards, Liam.
