Dumfriesshire / Lochmaben Cemetery MIA Name
« on: Friday 08 June 18 03:25 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
I have a slightly strange request so thank you for bearing with me. I am looking for a name off a grave in Lochmaben cemetary. It’s my great grandfather. I was there at his grave as a small child, but am unsure of his name. My grandfather has since died and no one in the family knows the name any more so we are desperate to find it out.
We think the first name is probably Robert or Alan.
We believe other family members are buried nearby (also possibly a Robert or Alan).
The inscription on the grave is quite specific, it says he was a member of the Palestine Police and then the British military (I want to say RAF but may be wrong), and went missing in action. We think the year was 1941, but could be off by a couple of years.
Possibly born around or before 1910.
I know this is a long shot and an odd one but if anyone knows anything that might help I would so appreciate it.
Thank you!
