    Hi
    As part of a project with the Royal British legion and the friends of the down Cemetery I am researching all the war dead that are buried in the Down Cemetery, Trowbridge, Wiltshire. This includes pre WW1, WW1, WW2 and post war.
    I am also researching all the soldiers that are mentioned on a grave stone as a memorial but are not buried there. I am interested in pictures of the deceased and there stories.
    The list so far covers 160 men and women.
    If any member's could give me any tips on find more information i would be grateful

    hello and welcome
    you need access to the genealogy websites which costs money there you might find family trees etc

    Re WW1 and WW 2 casualties as you know the CWGC will have these on their database

    Re WW2 casualties you will have to apply for their service records which at £30 a go is costly

    it might be an idea if you can to start a thread with a WW2 casualty here http://ww2talk.com/index.php?forums/searching-for-someone-military-genealogy.13/ and see how it pans out.
    We do have a few very good genealogist on the forum who will advise you further


    regards
