basiloxford Posted 15 May , 2008 Share Posted 15 May , 2008 Hi, I'm researching a man by the name of Walter Bertie Turner, Service no 207820, who served in the Royal Engineers, H.Q R.N Division. Has anybody any idea exactly what this division was?? He died in March 1918, and is buried at Wimereux. Thanks, Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
