Youngest WW2 Casualty Reggie EARNSHAW of Dewsberry. Any Relatives?
« on: Monday 06 July 09 13:01 UTC (UK) »
I am not related,  but if anyone believes they may be related to this young man the Commonwealth War Graves Commission would like to hear from you.

Reggie Earnshaw, from Dewberry was believed to have been 14 when he died on 6 July 1941 when merchant ship  SS North Devon was bombed from the air while on its way to Tyneside.

A headstone has been erected today in Comely Bank Cemetery Edinburgh,  near his last known address.
