You guys are just awesome. Many many thanks for this information. I have now got some info on one of the guys i've been having real trouble with.
I had a phone call yesterday from the son of one of the Didcot casualties, though he was only 5 when his father died he was able to give me a little info and he's going to send me a photo of his father as well as a photo of his medals etc. Thats a result.
The ones i have most trouble with though are guys who were in the RAOC, RASC, REME and RS. Any idea on how i can track these guys down? I know where they are buried but its tracking their units. They could be attached to any regiments who are in the area at the time.
Thanks again guys, again youv'e come up trumps.
