Hi Steve, My grandfather was in that company
He was Sapper WW2 - 1920910 Alexander B Ritchie (Alec) from Peebles, Selkirkshire, Scotland
My grandfather disembarked at Suez with the Royal Engineers 708th General construction company on 27 aug 1940.  He was reported missing in Greece on in apr 1941. He was kept prisoner for the rest of the war.
From his international red cross info he was captured in Kalamata, Greece and appears on prisoner list 11 Apr 1941. Taken to Stalag 306 XVIIID then on to XVIIIB on 31 jul 1941

reached a brick wall with this couple - looking in Selkirkshire and Roxburgh- children they may have had born between 1803 -1820 -galashiels, Roxburgh?
Any help greatly appreciated
William must have died after 1841 as he was with his son George on the census in Galashiels, susan was not their so presume she may have died by then.

My Great grandfather George (Lees)Hall born 13 jul 1888 Galashiels, his parents- Richard Lees Hall + Margaret Peace Graham.
George married twice #1 Henrietta Ingles Currie (1887-1953) m 1910 Galashiels, #2 Netta Wray (1903-1990) m 1955 Galashiels.

Im looking for the burials for them (Henrietta Ingles Currie Hall is Interred at Eastlands Cemetery) - would love photos if possible- or inscription
George was a woollen warehouseman/ commerial traveller.  Where would he have been buried or was he cremated?  Any obiturays?
Would he have served in WW1 if employed in this employment, (i cant find any military records for him to date.
Any help appreciated
thanks
