I am not sure this is the correct location for this post but Captain A W Ward was badly wounded at Louvain in May 1940 serving as a company commander with the battalion. I am trying to find his christian names! so far no luck. Can anyone help please. He was demobbed in 1946 with the rank of Major.

Lucy Ogilvy nee wickham was mother to Lieutenant William Wickham Ogilvy. William also had a sister Eleanore - William was killed on 23 March 1918. Lucy's father was William Wickham the MP. I'm getting bogged down with the falily tree - I know there were the Wickham links - although I'm not dure where Captain Cyril Henry Wickham fits in - a brother of Lucy perhaps?
Then there is the Bonham-Carter link!
Any help from someone who knows this family tree would be gratefully accepted

This is a whopping great long shot - but here goes!  Lieutenant Thomas Cunningham gillespie served in the 2nd battalion kings Own Scottish Borderers and was killed on 18th October 1914. He was an olympic rower and won a silver medal in the 1912 Olympics. His Brother, Alexander Douglas Gillespie was also killed in the Great War. The address on Gillespie's Medal Index Card is: Longcroft Linlithgow. His father is named as TP Gillespie.
Thomas was born in 1892 at Clanna Cottage, Alvington, Gloucestershitre and was the grandson of Alexander Gillespie of  Biggar Park Lanarkshire. He went to Winchester and New College Oxford.
Thomas wrote a diary during his short stay on the Western Front and I would dearly love to track it down if it still exists - hence my need to get in touch with any existing members of the family. Any help of suggestions would be gratefully received.

Athough born in County Monaghan Cecil Parke was in Down I believe in later life. Cecil Parke was the great all rounder Irish sportsman and I'm trying to establish whether he had a brother named Jack. there were five Parke siblings but I cannot track down the names of the others.
Any help appreciated
