After having researched the Great War names, I am cursorily beginning on WW2 and have hit problems with the following, can anyone help, please? SAFFRON WALDEN - THE SECOND WORLD WAR Franett A H W Hill S Palmer J Stoll D
Bobpike From your post I am not sure what you are actually after? I was up there earlier this year and got some pics for two members on here, and may, I stress, may, revisit sometime but won't know when! Andy
Hi Bob Fancy meeting you here!! Couple of suggestions for you re the names posted, seem likely to be your men. Could D. Stoll actually be D. Stowell, who was a Pte in the East Surreys and killed at Dunkirk see: CWGC :: Casualty Details J Palmer actually be A.J Palmer a Fusilier in the Royal Inniskilligs KIA in Italy see: CWGC :: Casualty Details No obvious candidates for the other two but happy to keep looking if you haven't ID'ed them yet? Steve

Researching our WW2 war memorial, these names are proving troublesome, any suggestions, please, Bob Franett A H W Hill S Palmer J Stoll D Hello Bob If you use Geoffs search engine Geoff's 1939-47 Search Engine and have a trawl through that. Also from my experience I have found names on War Memorials that. 1 Do not show on CWGC either they have been missed/not reported to CWGC or the local town/village have possibly included a person who died during the war years but possibly not a casualty of the conflict. 2 Incorrect spelling of surname Franklin could have transposed to Frannet. FRANKLIN, ALFRED Rank: Private Service No: 5779184 Date of Death: 05/01/1944 Regiment/Service: Royal Norfolk Regiment 5th Bn. Grave Reference 1. F. 9. Cemetery CHUNGKAI WAR CEMETERY Additional Information: Foster-son of Mrs. M. Webb, of Elmdon, Essex. 3 First name initial reversed example A.J.Smith shown as J.A.Smith or all initials not shown example A.J.B.Smith 4 Check local village/church records. 5 Casualty commemorated who lived a few miles from village example HILL, SYDNEY WILLIAM GEORGE Rank: Sergeant Trade: Pilot Service No: 1394594 Date of Death: 29/06/1943 Age: 19 Regiment/Service: Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve Grave Reference Chapel Plot. Grave 13. Cemetery ASSINIBOIA (MOUNT HOPE) CEMETERY Additional Information: Son of Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Hill, of Elsenham, Essex, England. 6 Email CWGC with the name and village they will do a double check for you CWGC - Contact Us regards Clive
Clive Thank you, these are suggestions I will work my way through. Both Frankliin and Smith are from adjacent villages, kind regards
