Thanks for the reply,
Yes i have tried the CWGC and i have a full list of all named German servicemen buried in the UK. Unfortunately they do not list any of the unknown graves. I have contacted them again but i am unsure they hold the information. I am waiting for their reply so posted for help on here as well.

Graveyards and Gravestones / German War Grave in Bridlington Cemetery
« on: Tuesday 28 November 17 12:59 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help? do you know if there is an unknown German War grave (EIN DEUTSCHER SOLDAT) in the war grave plot at Bridlington Cemetery. I know 4 German airmen were buried there in three graves on 19 August 1940. The two named airmen were transferred to Cannock Chase in 1964-66, i am lead to believe the two unknown in the one grave are still at Bridlington? I am planning a visit to the area on Sunday for research for my book and don't want to spend hours searching for something that is not there.

I have requested the information from the council but as yet i have had no reply.

Gloucestershire / VAD red cross nurses
« on: Friday 25 November 11 13:26 GMT (UK)  »
Would any one have any information on two VAD nurses i am researching. They both worked at the racecourse hospital Cheltenham during WW1. I have contacted the British red cross society for service records and i am awaiting a reply.

The nurses are Miss M McClymont Reid who was mentioned in dispatches.

Dorothy Edith Griffith-Jones who lived in Cheltenham when she died in 1962. I also have a thread open on Dorothy in the Bedfordshire section where she lived as a child. And have gaind some useful information.

Any information or photos of the nurses would be most helpful.

I know, i bought the medals after the auction finished from a dealer and started to search for any information on Dorothy, was gutted when i found the auction house that sold all the family history, i would have loved have kept it all together. I hate to see family history being broke up like that. But never mind, the search goes on.  ;)

Thanks again Dazey, picture of Dorothy's brother is very interesting as i have a picture of who i believe to be her Nephew, Philip P Griffith-Jones and the family resemblance is very apparent.

Her father (Griffith Jones) was still alive for the 1901 census.  Do you have the details?
