Hello Chrissie,

Well done.
Patience is a virtue, but a little nudge works wonders.  :)

None of mine have been family. Two were found when I was researching local war memorials. I believe another I found by pure chance when I was looking up someone else on a Rootschat thread.

Chrissie,

I don't know if you have tried to access Harry's page on CWGC. I have tried unsuccessfully several times. I questioned it yesterday and apparently there is a glitch in the new CWGC database that is preventing new commemorations from showing. It should be sorted out by the end of this week, I am reliably informed.

Yes Phil, Thank you for your interest.

I've been looking but as you know, nothing so far - I'm beginning to think that Harry doesn't want to be there ???

Chrissie,

It looks like CWGC have sorted it out. Heres a direct link to Harry's page:

Many thanks Phil - I was beginning to despair of his name ever appearing.

I wonder how many others are yet to gain recognition?  Shall definitely keep my eyes open  for any more - now I know how it's done :)
