ianw Posted 20 June , 2015 Share Posted 20 June , 2015 Was waiting at Euston for family members tonight and stood and contemplated the magnificent memorial in the concourse - 3000 plus casualties from staff on that line out of Euston to the north west. 4 excellent statues.

The only J Lawson listed was a labourer employed by the London and North Western who was a private. Hope this assists Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did work for a railway and was killed at Gallipoli. However almost all his records contain mistakes! RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
