Not your ordinary search

Geoff,

As a consequence of this thread, I have tried various searches for casualties from the 1st Hyderabad Infantry, Indian States Forces and found none, which seems a little unlikely. Am I being a bit thick, or were there really no fatalities?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hello Andrew
if you put Hyderabad in the including box and 1st bn in the ship or unit text it brings up a number of casualties

Aha! It needs Regiment/Corps = Indian as well; obvious really. I must have missed that when trying the Including = Hyderabad search before.

Thank you, Clive.

The honours are even: it was a factor of my stupidity and the empty Regiment/Corps field in their records!

So, it turns out there were only 1 IO and 18 IORs KIA during the campaign from 12 Jan 42 onwards, none at Kota Bharu.

 

Two more 1 HYD INF officers:

Haven't yet worked out why they're not in the above list

 

An old thread but I thought that I'd just add photos that I took last year at KZ Flossenbürg which shows the memorial plaque to the members of SOE who were murdered at the camp, some of whose names are on the list quoted from Post #15 onwards.
The first image shows the remains of the cell building and courtyard and the plaque is on the right hand wall facing the building.

 

Thanks Hucks, The memorial to Simone Michel-Lévy, Hélène Lignier and Noémie Suchet is interesting. You may want to check this link:

Frode Weierud’s CryptoCellar | Simone Michel-Lévy

 

Thanks for that. Here is their memorial stone located next to the SOE one at Flossenbürg.

 

Do not know if it is still of any use. But in my research I have found that CWGC spell the same unit names in many ways. So what I did was to download ALL casualties from the Indian Armed Forces into a spreadsheet. That way I ended up with nearly 800 names out of around 700 from the re-occupation of the NEI.

 

Hello Geoff,

If possible, is it feasible to do a search giving the list of all WW2 casualties from the Royal Army Chaplains' Department? I have read that 179 died in WW1. According to a BBC "People's War" article posted by the Museum of Army Chaplaincy during WW2, there were 96 British Army chaplains who lost their lives plus 38 Commonwealth chaplains (all denominations):

Link to the BBC "People's War" article:
BBC - WW2 People's War - Brief History of the Royal Army Chaplains' Department in World War II

Thanks

 

Royal Army Chaplain's Department is available on the Regiment list in the search engine. I get 105 hits.
Also available on CWGC, select regiment in the Regiment field - also 105 hits (but it seems a bit buggy this morning, crashed twice)

Geoff

 

Thanks, Geoff.

I've just tried a search on your search engine for chaplains using Royal Army Chaplains' Department in the 'Regiment' list and also get 105 hits which is slightly higher than the figure given by the Chaplains' Museum in their "People's War" article.

For selected Commonwealth countries, the total number of Commonwealth chaplain casualties in WW2 is higher than the 38 given by the Chaplains' Museum (i.e. at least 47):
'Australian Army Chaplains' Department' gives 19 hits;
'New Zealand Chaplains' Department' gives 2 hits;
'Canadian Chaplains' Service' gives 20 hits;
'South African Chaplain's Department gives 2 hits;
'Indian Ecclesiastical Establishment' gives 4 hits.
