Hello, Does anybody know of any information regards The Royal Artillery 628 Regiment? I understand it was formed 1st July 1940. Enlistment mainly of soldiers evacuated from Dunkirk. Any and all information very much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. 

Hello. One of my relatives died of his wounds (18th May 1917) at the 6th Casualty Clearing Station. I have visited his grave located within the Barlin Communal Cemetery Extension. Now I trying to discover where the 6th Casualty Clearing Station was located? Anybody please be able to provide a pointer or two? Thanks.

A friend has asked me to research a relative who was KIA during WW1. According to the CWGC website Pte H Snow 9th Bn, Devons was KIA 6th Sep 1916. He is buried within the Deville Wood Cemetery, Longueval. During early September 1916 the 9th Bn came under sustain gun fire with heavy losses when they were attacking the German lines at Ginchy. It would appear Pte Harry Snow was one of those killed. As such, Harry along with many of his colleagues who were also killed were buried where they fell. These bodies were exhumed and reburied within the Deville Wood Cemetery. Accordingly, within the Burial Return paperwork the "Map Reference Where The Body Was Found" for each body there is a Map Reference of T.13.d. I have discovered a September 1916 grid map of the area. And yes the grid number for around Ginchy is 13. But, each map grid is 500yds square. Does the T and d of the Map Reference give information of where within the grid the bodies were originally buried? Or could please somebody explain what T.13.d refers to? Thanks Very Much. Stay Safe.   

Any chance of a "Tidy-up" please. A photo of my mother-in-law. No mother-in-law jokes please...……….. Thanks.

Another b/w photo which has been in the family for 100yrs. My best guess is that it was taken about 1919/20. They were of farm labourer stock. Not 2 pennies to rub together!!!! The oldest boy, back right was born during 1908. The girl sat on her Mum's lap was born during 1918. The mark, upper chest area of Grandad, is where unfortunately the photo got stuck on the glass. At the time they lived near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, UK. If anybody please could possibly restore and colour it would be brilliant. Thanks in anticipation.
