    Hi all
    I am researching the names on my local War Memorial in Stansted Essex and I have been talking to the wife of the soldier I have listed - She has told me he was killed along with many other Royal Marines on this day (possibly in a hut/shed) - Looking at the list of soldiers at Schoonselhof Cemetery there appears to have been many Marines and Signal Corps buried in a row of graves all died on the same date.
    Is there anything in the history books that tells us about the death of these soldiers.
