Hi Mate and a belated welcome to the forum. Sapper J T Young Casualty I'm struggling to find 'Christy' or 'Christie' killed in 1994 in the Royal Engineers. Anything you can add to help narrow down the search for him? Looking forward to see in the pictures. Regards Andy
Hello again! I can't quite work out how to post the photo's to the forum, however I have added them to my profile and I have an album uploaded. Please take a look. Cheers
Thanks Andy, that's good of you mate. All we know is that they used to call him "CORPORAL CHRISTY." You could be right, it was probabily a nickname. Dad said this chap was always looking for "souveners! and they all used to warn him not to....he wouldn't listen.

The unit appears not to have suffered many casualties so he may get a mention in the units war diary.
We are going to send for Dad's war record, I believe as I'm next of kin I can do this, its around 30quid I think? My mate Ronnyson, told me it will take a few months? Cheers.
Wizard, is this him? he looked older in the photo though...don't you think? CWGC :: Casualty Details Ronnyson
