    Good evening guys

    Bit of a long shot this one...

    I'm looking for some detail regarding an accident that led to the death (at Peel Hospital, Galashiels) of Gerrard George 'Roy' Tidball, Cpl, RASC, T/261400.

    CASUALTY

    According to the local Book of Remembrance, his death (on 2nd July 1943) was caused from injuries received from a motor cycle accident whilst on manoeuvres with his (RASC) unit in Scotland.

    The death certificate confirms his death date and also states cause of death 'severe abdominal injuries (6 Days)' which puts the date of the accident at 25th/26th June.

    No published inquest (as I'd expect), so very little to go on regarding the events. I'm hoping someone just might have something they can add to the story...fingers crossed.

    Thanks as always guys!
