Lee,
I'll try to copy the book I bought and place it up too. In essence there isn't much more on display for WWI and WWII than what I put up there. It is a small reg. museum.

Husband's family experienced similar situation, 2 brothers, RFA, died 3 days apart in May 1915, one DOW in Boulogne, the other KIA in Ypres. One small grace is that they both have graves. 2 months later their brother landed at Gallipoli. Weakened, he died of TB in 1929. All 3 sons pre-deceased their parents.
