Lance Serjeant Thomas Wadley DLI 1940

Hello Jadzia,

Just to update this thread, here is a copy of words pasted on another thread titled: “16th June 1940 ? ? ? ?”.

“Harry Moses has responded on the L/Sergeant Wadley query. He has spoken to George Iceton MM of the 6th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry, who unfortunately can't remember Wadley; they were in a different part of the battalion.”

In addition, I intend to visit the National Archive in the not too distant future and will have a look at the War Diary ‘WO 361/41 British Expeditionary Force, France: The Durham Light Infantry; missing men’, if I have time, just to see if there is any mention of L/Sergeant Wadley. Please let me know if this has already been done?!

Best,

Steve.

Hello Jim,

Thanks for the update.

I haven't made it along to the National Archive yet. I'm desparate to get there but just never have the time; work gets in the way mainly, but then there is family; grandson demanding my attention, etc. Even looking at this site and adding comments is usually 'pinched' time.

I actually owe a couple of forum members some information and have done for some time now. I must get that done this next week.

Hope all is okay with you and yours.

Best,

Steve.
