Re: Identities Sought

Hi James and sorry for the late reply. I have the documentation for a records search from the national archives but I have to provide a death certificate which is a bit nonsensical because I don't have the full identity in which to request that. I'm going to try to finagle my way through that proces...

Thank you again, your assistanc...

Re: Assistance from Scotland Sought

Attached is a similar article we had published which led to making contact with the family of Sgt. Edgar Frederick Drew of 7 Squadron and Stirling N.6020. I had almost given up hope until I found a 1911 census record which led to this publication in his hometown in England. It has been wonderful dis...

Re: Picture Identification
