Eddie, has your workmate got a photo of his relatives grave?
I'm sure someone on here can help.

Would love it if anyone out there could forward a photo of his gravestone.

I'm sure that would put the icing on the cake at the moment for him.

I am going to the Reichswald at the end of this month, and will take a picture of it for you.

I started transcribing the 1st East Lancs War Diary today (June only thus far!) But will copy you the sections relating his death and post them here.

Hi Eddie,

Swiper has beaten me to it, but here are the NA references for the ELR in 1945:

WO171/5224
/5225
/5226

Each one covers a period in 1945.

Bamboo.
