Hi dick

have you any more info on the 2 people?, I have checked www.cwgc.org and it comes up with a few J Ashcrofts.

More info would help narrow it down.

thanks Ken    for your interest ,they both came from pemberton nr wigan ,and if they had lived till 1918 they would have 22 and 23 years old so they are a lot younger than the soldiers profile that sent  but thanks alot for the interest. Dick.
