Hi mack,

Thats fantastic, I hadn't thought of Lawrence being involved in WW1 as I have a photograph of him taken during the 1920's and a trade directory entry of him  for 1927, so he must have been one of the lucky ones!

I will check to see if the National Archives have a medal card for him.

With thanks,

Eastman

Hi Mack,

I've just discovered that you can search some Manchester cemetery records at:

http://www.burialrecords.manchester.gov.uk/

try entering Boucher only?
