    Hi, it's me again, with another query, I hope you can help. I am researching William Brotherstone:-
    Commonwealth War Graves Commission
    Private
    BROTHERSTONE, WILLIAM
    Service Number 4190679
    Died 26/01/1945
    Aged 31
    6th Bn. South Wales Borderers
    Son of William and Ethel Brotherstone; husband of Mary Alice Brotherstone, of Shotton, Flintshire.

    and I have found 3 documents, that MAY be for the same person, but how can I tell? I am attaching the documents one has the Regtl. No. as 4205432 and the other one is the same as above on CWGC. Would this be the same person as he was in the Army in 1935. Any help would be appreciated. Kind regards, Mavis

    WOW! Thanks Owen and Harkness, thank you both for your input and my apologies for not spotting the connection on one of the documents and all the other information passed to me. I am new at WW2 Army Documents, so will learn soon, I know. Thanks also for the links re William's Gravestone too Owen, much appreciated. This is a great forum. Kind regards, Mavis
