Hello Tony the usual suggestion is service records https://www.gov.uk/requests-for-personal-data-and-service-records Casualty Details | CWGC THOMPSON, WILLIAM Rank: Serjeant Service No: 5608454 Date of Death: 25/09/1939 Regiment/Service: 2nd Bn. Devonshire Regiment Grave Reference: 1. 3. 1. Cemetery: PEMBROKE MILITARY CEMETERY Location: Malta
Hi Tony Have tried to search Ancestry but could do with some more info - by the way where does the Ian come from, its not on the CWGC details - dob, place of birth etc would be useful. TD
Hi Tony/ RedDevon Just found this thread - William Thompson is my husbands grandfather. What information do you have/are you looking for? Best Regards Shona
Hello Shona welcome to the forum I have sent a message to reddevon to make them aware of your interest regards Clive
Hi Shona, welcome to the forum, did you have a look at the band photos on the Devonshire Regiment LHA face book page? there are quite a few on there some with names. It was your initial enquiry on that page that prompted me to post the question on here. Thank you CL1 for the notification.
