hello,

Just a short introducion:

My name is Jan de Wilde,and I live in the city called Sittard (The Netherlands).
On request of a former WW.2 Welsh Guards Veteran do I take care for 2 graves of Welsh guards soldiers buried in my hometown Sittard at the Sittard war Cemetery.

Recently I have launched a website about the British soldiers buried in my hometown Sittard.
The site can be visited at: http://www.wargravessittard.org
On the Sittard War Cemetery are also buried 3 soldiers from the Manchester Regiment.

Welcome Jan !  and Thank You for your work.

Albert James Ramsden is the son of Albert F and Louisa L Ramsden.  He married Elsie E Comins in 1944 in Edmonton, Middlesex.  When he died she lived in Wood Green in Middlesex.  I do not think they had any children.

Leonard Francis Scrutton was son of Stanislaus Osborn Scrutton and Alice Ellen Scrutton.  
He married Vera Frances Heath in, Ipswich, Suffolk in 1936.
I think they had 1 child, Hazel M Scrutton born in 1936 in Ipswich.

George Sweeney was the son of John Thomas Sweeney and Annie Sweeney.  He married Mona Ibbotson in  Hyde, Cheshire in 1942.  I think they had one child Michael J Sweeney born in 1944.
