Remembering Today Casualty Details | CWGC Driver MCKEOWN, FRANCIS Service Number T/10683776 Died 09/10/1944 Aged 21 Royal Army Service Corps Buried or commemorated at GLASGOW (ST. KENTIGERN'S) ROMAN CATHOLIC CEMETERY Grave Reference: Sec. 1. Grave 318. Son of John McKeown, and of Annie McKeown (nee Campbell), of Balornock, Glasgow. INSCRIPTION: GOD BE WITH YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
Parents married in Blythswood area in 1906. Don't see any death entry for Francis at all, not even a service return, most odd. I note he is buried in the Glasgow R.C. cemetery, St. Kentigerns. I know R.C. burial records went on line recently on either Find My Past or Ancestry. Will need to look into this further. Edit: GRO have a 21 year old that died December 1944, registered in Leicester. Wonder if that is him?
