I have Soldiers Died in WW2 CD and am happy to look up for members, I also have access to Vietnam and Korea Casualties for the US of A and most other war dead databases. The CD only covers about 100,000 men, my interests are Irish men who died in ww2 however where this CD falls down on its ww1 counterpart is instead of giving the name of the village or townland the guy was from it just says Eire Had I known this before I spent a fortune on the CD I would not have wasted my money. Naval and Military Press take note. Tom.
Tom Not sure whether you can help.I'm researching memorials within Wolverhampton,I came across this man but can't pinpoint him on CWGC,His details are as inscribed on memorial-1st GL NA(havent got a clue what this means) C (or could be G )F Bullock. Could you also look for a Pte W.H Taylor with connection to Wolverhampton/Willenhall Regards Doug Tom since posting i have found. Name: BULLOCK, GEORGE FREDERICK Initials: G F Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Naval Airman 1st Class Regiment: Royal Navy Unit Text: H.M.S. Blackcap Date of Death: 31/05/1943 Service No: FX92505 Additional information: Husband of Mrs. G. F. Bullock, of Heath Town, Wolverhampton. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: Old ground. Row 51. Grave S/2. Cemetery: HEATH TOWN (HOLY TRINITY) CHURCHYARD I would like additional information if you have it. Doug
The other thing this CD cannot tell you is what battalion a man was in. For some reason that was left out in the original document, from which this was compiled. Makes it very difficult to work out where a man was! I have also found that Army Soldiers attached to Commando units are usually with their parent regiment, with no mention of the Commando attachment - but this is normally shown in CWGC records.
Hello Doug. I actually lots the home page url, thanks to you I have it agian. You are the first email I have from them. I checked the CD but it does not have data on naval personnel.
