harribobs Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 If anyone requires lookups in SDGW or ODGW (officers section) let me knowI also have a half decent ( ) database on the Manchester Regiments actions and battalions as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 A very kind offer.Would you mind looking up 7620 William John Hilleard of the Queen's (11th Battalion) please, he was killed near Hill 60 in July 1917. I have a bit of info on him but the SDGW CD might know something I don't.Then there's 2656 Pte. George Stevens also of the Queen's, killed on the Somme in Sept. 1916. Both men were from Bermondsey.CheersTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 That's strange, he's on the CWGC. Do you think they forgot all about him?Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hello Martin,No I'm afraid not. My interest is that he lived not too far away from where I grew up (although he was on the wrong side of the river) and has my surname. I was also in the RCT (latter day ASC).Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Stewart Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 The reason for him possibly not being found in SDGW is because he is recorded as dying in December 1918. A lot of units when compiling their books gave the cut off date as 11th November 1918. I have had similar problems with deaths in the Northumberland Fusiliers - they can be found in War Graves Registers but not in SDGW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
