I have posted 25 photos of Emanuel School alumni who lost their lives in WW2, Emanuel School WW2 Roll of Honour Photos - Emanuel School at war Have you further information on any of them? Have you done research on WW2 and recognise their names? Please get in contact. Thank you.
You'll get a lot more help if you post the Commonwealth War Graves Commission details on each casualty. I don't have the time to look up details on all 25 and I'm sure others feel the same. Give us this information and you'll find more people will look up source documentation for you.
Thank you. Appended below the CWGC links which accompany the photos.
