Hello, I just need a few pointers as to where I should start please?
I am looking for a fallen WWI soldier for my father-in-law, we want to present him with the information we've found in time for Christmas.
The soldier in question was Private James Culshaw who was buried in Mawsdeley at St Peter & Paul's RC Churchyard. The date of death is noted, I think, as Sept 29 1918 (the month is a little indistinct) aged 32. He died of his wounds, so we presume he was taken back to the UK from France before he died.
214 Battalion LNL Regiment - that's all we know.
Would be grateful for some advice on how to get started with this. We'd like to track down some certification if possible so that we can present all this to my father-in-law.
