Hi Angie,

Would the Commonwealth War Graves Commission be of any use? It lists the casualties (and resting places) of soliders in the First and Second World Wars.

Perhaps post the name(s) you're researching and someone might have an answer. Smiley

Angie,
As Hume24 has already suggested post the name(s) and details up as someone may well be able to help, if not directly they may have knowledge of other sites that might be of use to you in your search. As for the Common Wealth War Graves Commission site it deals with the fallen of world war two.

Hi Old Rowley.  I didn't quite understand what point you were making in your last sentence. CWGC covers both wars of course, or did I misunderstand what you were saying?
