Hello / Hello and new enquiry ref: Man48 Home Guard WWII
« Last post by Mowsehowse on April 01, 2024, 07:08:38 PM »
Hello.
How interesting to find this dedicated site.
I am an amateur genealogist who is trying to help someone, adopted at birth and now in their late 70s, to find their biological roots.

I was surprised to locate a potential connection on "Anc*stry", among the Home Guard WWII records, the Ardwick Man48 Battalion, joining date 31 July 1943.

Will there be any further information about these gallant people to be found anywhere?
I will be hugely grateful for any help or advice.
With thanks.

Non Commissioned Graves / Re: Pte 9384 Job Leach – 17th Bn

Hi Paul,
I thought Terry had submitted the case but it appears this isn;t the case from IFCP Forum.  As the notation on the WFA Card is the only evidence that the cause of death was connected with service, it would be rejected under the current requirements.  I've moved the thread out of the Applications section.

Charles McKernon's case was rejected today.  The evidence was debateable.
